Ingredients
3/4 cup baked purple sweet potato, mashed until smooth
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup chocolate chips, finely chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Scrub the purple sweet potato, prick it with a fork, and roast until tender, approximately 45-60 minutes.
Allow the potato to cool, peel the skin, and measure out 3/4 cup of the flesh.
Mash the potato until completely smooth and free of lumps.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed potato with the peanut butter until well incorporated.
Fold in the chopped chocolate chips.
Shape the mixture into small, bite-sized balls using your hands.
Place on a parchment-lined plate and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
Notes
Ensure the potato is completely cooled before mixing to prevent the chocolate from melting prematurely. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For a firmer texture, you can add a teaspoon of coconut flour.
