  • 2 (1-pound) boxes confectioners' sugar

    There is something wrong with the written directions. I too had to throw out the batch. Too soupy. What a waste of supplies.
    Help, Paula!

    paula was saying to make 2 cups of mashed potatoes with the 1 stick of butter added to it and then only use 1/2 cup and add more if need be and that is why it is not coming out right for so many people:

    What a fun idea the eggs are. You can also use the plastic eggs that open as a mold. Put the potato mixture in the eggs and chill. Perfect egg for dipping. Put them on a stick and it makes it easy for the kids to dip and sprinkle colored sprinkles for different eggs. The kids and adults can go wild with this.
