I had a recipe for potato fudge that was out of this world and I lost it. It was something someone brought to work and he shared the recipe with me and now I have no idea what I did with it. That was two eons and four states ago. Does anyone have a great recipe for potato fudge?

We used to have something similar to this when I was in elementary school. (I know, that was a long time ago!) The ones we had were peanut butter. Does anyone know if you can substitute the peanut butter for the chocolate? I've tried for years to find this recipe. I had finally given up. Now, I see this and I'm wondering.....
