Before you imagine we’ve abandoned cacao for a quiet life farming potatoes in Idaho, allow me to clarify.

These are Irish Potato Candies. A curious little confection from Philadelphia, traditionally made with cream cheese and coconut, then rolled in cocoa powder to resemble small, dusty potatoes. Naturally, we took a slightly more… Gnosisian approach.

Ours skip the cream cheese, are dipped in chocolate (imagine something in the neighborhood of a Mounds bar), low-glycemic, and finished in cacao powder infused with medicinal mushrooms. Because if one is going to masquerade as a potato, one might as well be a philosophical potato.

I made only a very small batch. So if coconut, chocolate, and functional mushrooms sound like your sort of eccentric delight, you may want to claim yours before they vanish back into the soil. 🥔🪏🥥🍀🍫🍄✨
