Irish Creme Fudge (microwave)

 Categories: Candies, Christmas 
      Yield: 36 servings 
  
      1 sm Potato (about 5 ounces) 
      3 tb Irish Creme liqueur 
      2    Squares (2 oz) unsweetened 
           -chocolate

           -(about 3-1/4 cups) 
     36    Walnut pieces 
  
  Fudge gets texture from potato: potatoes cooked in the microwave oven give 
  this fudge its unbelievably creamy, fudgey texture.  The mellow flavor 
  comes from Irish Crem liqueur, used in both the fudge and the icing. Use a 
  pastry bag to pipe the icing or a spoon to drizzle it onto the fudge. The 
  added bonux is that this fudge is low in fat.

  Line an 8x8x2-inch pan with foil. extending foil over the edges of the pan. 
  Butter foil; set the pan aside.  Prick potato 2 or 3 times witha fork. Cook 
  on 100% power (High) for 4-5 minute sor until tender, turning over once. 
  Cool and peel.  Mash potato (you should have 1/3 cup). Add liqueur, stir 
  until smooth.  Set aside. 
   
  In a 2-quart microwave-save casserole combine chocolate and margarine; 
  cook, uncovered, on High for 1-2 minutes or until almost melted, stirring

  Stir or knead until smooth.  Press into the foil-lined pan. Score into 
  thirty-six 1-1/4-inch squares.  Press a walnut piece into each square.
