Irish Potato Candy

¼ cup butter, softened

½ (8 ounce) package cream cheese

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

4 cups confectioners sugar

2 ½ cups flaked coconut

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

In a medium bowl, beat the butter and cream cheese together until smooth. Add the vanilla and confectioners sugar; beat until smooth. Using your hands if necessary, mix in the coconut. Roll into balls or potato shapes, and roll in the cinnamon. Place onto a cookie sheet and chill to set. If desired, roll potatoes in cinnamon again for darker color.
