Sweet Potato Fudge Brownies
This is an irresistible decadent ‘fudgy’ brownie and I owe it all to the sweet potatoes and avocado (and of course the chocolate)! The center of this fudge brownie is rich and moist like a traditional brownie but without the oil and eggs. Put these homemade gems in the freezer and you have a treat anytime! Enjoy!
