"potatoe" news and stories

St. Patrick's Day might not have the same type of candy-giving connotations as Valentine's Day, but with candy companies seeing increases in holiday-related sales nearly every year, there certainly is some incentive for them to celebrate each and every holiday with a special product. See's Candy has a special confection for St. Patrick's Day and it is one of the most interesting I've seen. Not content to merely see chocolate leprechauns (though they have those, too), See's has come out with a candy potato. The St. Patrick's Day potato is a potato shaped lump of fluffy, marshmallowy divinity, packed with California walnuts and dipped in chocolate. The whole thing is rolled in a mixture of cinnamon and cocoa powder to round out the flavors of the candy and balance its sweetness, as well as to simulate the natural look (dirt) of the spud. I know that the See's divinity is delicious, so I'm looking forward to getting my hands on one (or two) of these!
