Irish Potato Candy

This is a no-bake coconut and cream cheese confection shaped by hand to look just like a potato!

In a medium bowl, beat the butter and cream cheese together until smooth. Add the vanilla, whiskey and confectioners' sugar; beat until smooth.
Mix in the coconut (use hands if necesssary) Roll into potato shapes. Roll each "potato" in cinnamon to coat, then press in pieces of chopped nuts to look like eyes. Dust with cocoa to simulate dirt.Place onto a cookie sheet and chill to set.
