cut off stove, leaving candy in oven for 30 minutes. After removing from oven, place in tight container. GRANDMA STONE'S POTATO CANDY • 1 and one-half box of sifted powdered sugar (confectioner's) Add one teaspoon vanilla flavoring and continue to mash with fork until it looks like a thick liquid. Begin to add sifted
powdered sugar a small amount at a time, stirring into this mix. You'll be surprised to see that you'll use a box or more
of sugar before it reaches the desired "clay like" consistancy. Dust your work area with more powdered sugar and roll this
lump of claylike dough out into a thin sheet. Trim edges to a rectangular shape and spread peanut butter over the entire area.
Taking your time, gently roll the peanut butter covered dough into a "log". Wrap with Reynolds wrap and chill in freezer for
about two hours before moving it to the fridge. To serve, cut into thin slices. They'll look like a pretty white confection with a swirl of peanut butter. This
is very sweet--so the thinner the slices the better; best served with strong cappuccino or coffee. DIVINITY Sometimes it doesn't pay to cut corners, but you have my word, this one is every bit as good as the "stand and stir
