When I was kid we used to make this candy for Christmas-no idea what it's really called but when it was assembled and cut it looked like spirals. It was delicious and may not have required any cooking. If anyone knows what I'm talking about and has a recipe I would love to have it.

I just looked, and there's lots of recipes via Google!

Would this be the one that is made with boiled, chilled potatoes (or mashed potatoes) powdered sugar rolled out, spread with peanutbutter; then rolled jelly roll style, chilled and sliced.

It is called Potato Candy - it is made with boiled potatoes, confectioner's sugar, peanut butter and vanilla. I Googled potato candy and received numerous recipes. I also remember this from my childhood.

Oh I remember this .... though ours never had peanut butter in it. And then it was dipped in melted chocolate and paraffin, to create chocolates!

The version we made didn't have potatoes in it-on the other hand I can't remember what it DID have in it.

My Mother made them like this without peanut butter. It seams to me she called them "Texas BonBon's". After I left home I would request them at Christmas time.
