    I think if they were not presented as "creme eggs" the backlash would have been tamer.

    Probably. But still - that seems like a lot of work for little reward. If I'm going to that much trouble to make sweets, it's going to be opera fudge or Aunt Bill's brown candy (don't ask, I didn't name it). The brown candy even has a nice micronutrient profile - lots of pecans!

    This, so much work for something that doesn't seem that much healthier!

    And to those saying "They used mashed potatoes in sweets during the war!", I think that makes our point. It's what they did when they had no other options. Not really a selling point to me :tongue:

    Well, the great depression gave us sliced bread, and pigs in a blanket, Ritz crackers, banana bread and a variety of other nice foods so I wouldn't dismiss the creativity of war time recipes. I will happily try anything at least once. To be honest I was just planning to add some sugar to a tablespoon or so of mashed potatoes next time I'm making them just to see how the combination tastes before embarking on anything potentially wasteful.
