My grandmother used to make potato candy pinwheels that had a layer of chocolate and a layer of peanut butter, so they were much prettier than just the potato and peanut butter. Anyone know the recipe for these? I've never made them, so I'm not quite sure how to work in the chocolate layer. Thanks!

Potato candy is made with regular starchy white potatoes. I don't know how sweet potatoes would work as they don't have nearly as much starch in them.

Hope this helps. A lady in the comments section, below this recipe, stated that she used Hershey's chocolate spread as one layer and it was very good:
