A fudge-like, no-bake candy that's a St. Patrick's Day tradition in Philadelphia!
You say potato, we say Irish potato candy. This fudge-like candy is a St. Patrick’s Day tradition in Philadelphia, typically made with cream cheese, butter, a pinch of salt, powdered sugar, and coconut. It’s then rolled in cinnamon to resemble spuds. Our Cravings twist is using toasted coconut for nuttiness and salted butter to balance out the sweetness.
- 4
tablespoons (½ stick) salted butter, at room temperature
- 4
ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1
teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1
pound (4 cups) powdered sugar
- 7
ounces toasted sweetened shredded coconut (or sweetened shredded coconut you toast yourself—see note in directions)
- 1 ½
tablespoons ground cinnamon

Versatile sheet pans are essential for everyone, but this sparkling champagne gold set will make your kitchen shine a little brighter. The oversized sheet pan (20"x14") is ideal for making a nice big pizza or a sheet pan dinner for the whole family; a 15"x10" cookie sheet can make a dozen cookies or a tray of roasted vegetables; and a 13"x10" baking pan is just screaming for a cake. The best part? The nonstick surface makes for super easy cleanup!
Big enough to hold piles of sliced and diced veggies while you prep, beautiful enough to take straight to the table stacked with cheese and charcuterie. This wooden cutting board has a slim-but-sturdy, easy-to-store profile, but you'll use it so often it's more likely to earn a permanent place on your counter.
