If chocolate can’t be incorporated into Thanksgiving, then I am not sure what this country has come to. Check out this recipe I stumbled onto:
3 pounds yellow-fleshed potatoes, peeled
1 1/2 ounce white chocolate, chopped
3/4 teaspoon salt
6 dashes hot red pepper sauce, such as Tabasco sauce
1 1/2 cup fat-free milkDirections:
Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover with cool water to a depth of 2 inches, and bring to a simmer over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer until tender when pierced with a fork, about 25 minutes. Drain in a colander set in the sink and return the potatoes to the pan.Add the white chocolate to the still-hot potatoes; stir until the white chocolate starts to melt. Stir in the salt and hot red pepper sauce.
Use an electric mixer at medium-low speed to mash the potatoes slightly. Pour in the milk and continue mixing until creamy, about 1 minute. Serve at once.
If that’s not good, I don’t know what is. What chocolate treats will you have at your festive board?

It’s certainly an attention getter. Is 1 1/2 ounces of white chocolate a lot?

[...] of family and fun. But while slapping a savory cocoa rub all up on your turkey and beating those white chocolate mashed potatoes, or maybe just in the midst of enjoying the feast, let’s all think about what we are thankful [...]

The white chocolate is supposed to replace the butter you might normally use. So a quarter stick of butter is one ounce, right? I assume you have one-pound packages of butter up in Canada. I can’t remember offhand right now. So that’s not really a lot. You will get the rich flavor from the fats in the white chocolate and will have a tinge of sweetness, I think. Give it a shot!
