the sweetest spud

While in Idaho, I (finally?) tried an Idaho Spud candy bar.  No potatoes involved.   Only marshmellow-y…stuff, and coconuts-  not exactly what I was expecting!

But I found this great recipe online!

idahospud2Chocolate Cream Spud Pie

“Be elegant - easily! Fill your favorite cooked pastry shell or crumb crust with a rich and light, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate filling.

In a microwave melt 8 Idaho Spuds and 1 1/2 cups of milk. Whip 1/2 cup of heavy cream, saving some for decorating the top. Add to slightly cooled mixture. Pour into pie shell and refrigerate.

Serve with pride!”

We ALSO did a lot of other cooler things, like spending the 4th of July in McCall with family,
