   Hello All,   
      
   How does the Instant Pot work as a slow cooker?  I've not tried that function    
   yet (I did buy the slow cooker lid).

         Title: 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   
         3 tb Margarine/butter   
         1 lb Powdered sugar, unsifted   
              -(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.   
      
     Designer Icing (recipe follows)   
      
     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 once. Stir until smooth.   
      
     Stir potato mixture into chocolate mixture.  Slowly stir in powdered   
     sugar. 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. Cover and chill until firm.  Holding foil at edges,   
     remove the fudge from the pan; cut into squares. Drizzle Designer   
     icing over fudge.   
      
     ~=>Designer Icing In a small microwave-save bowl, cook 1 Tbsp   
     margarine/butter on High for 45 seconds or until melted. Beat in 1/3   
     cup sifted powdered sugar and enough Irish Creme liqueur (1-2 Tbsp)   
     to ake an icing of piping or drizzling consistency.
