Slicing and Serving

8. Slice the Candy:
   • Once the candy log is firm, remove it from the refrigerator.
   • Unwrap the log and use a sharp knife to slice it into 1/4-inch thick pieces. For cleaner slices, wipe the knife blade with a damp cloth between cuts.
9. Serve:
   • Arrange the sliced candy pieces on a serving platter.
   • Enjoy this sweet treat with family and friends, savoring the unique flavor and texture of this old-fashioned candy.

Tips for Success

• Consistent Texture: Ensure the mashed potato is completely smooth before adding the powdered sugar. Any lumps can affect the texture of the candy.
• Control the Sweetness: The amount of powdered sugar needed can vary. Add it gradually until the dough reaches the right consistency and sweetness.
• Rolling Technique: Roll the dough out evenly and spread the peanut butter in a thin layer to avoid overly thick or uneven candy slices.
