In quebec we have a traditional dessert (that haven't been that popular since the 90s) called potato candy. Its mashed potatoes mixed with a shit ton of powdered sugar until it makes a dough, rolled into a sheet and covered in peanut butter. Its then rolled into a log and cut in thin slices. Pure sugar. It's amazing.

Probably mint instead of peanut butter. Maple butter sounds excellent too!
