Personal Notes:
This is a treat from Ken's childhood where they got them from Wockenfuss Candy Store. It is called sweet potato candy because of its shape and color. It is an Irish candy. He always talks about attending a church bake sale and as he reached for the last sweet potato candies "Marge" swooped in and grabbed them. Haha. Even though this is Ken's recipe don't be fooled that he makes them. My sister-in-law Anna Englestad actually gave me this recipe so I could make Ken sweet potato candies whenever he wanted them.
