a chocolate & marshmallow potato
the idaho candy company started in 1901 when the founder began selling chocolate door to door. soon enough the company was making dozens of different candy bars, so they then built a factory in boise, which they still use to this day. the idaho candy company’s most famous chocolate bar is the idaho spud, which is a potato-shaped, cocoa-flavoured marshmallow centre covered with dark chocolate and sprinkled with coconut. [nope, no actual potato.] a couple reviews i read didn’t speak too highly of the bar, describing the centre as “disgusting,” “spongy,” and “a grained marshmallow.” i’m not sure if i’ll be able to find 1 anywhere around here, but i’d love to try it out for myself. i can’t pass up trying at least 1 potato-shaped candy bar that’s been in production since 1918, despite the negative reviews.
