They look good right? I continue to make deserts each week on purpose. I've got one hell of a sweet tooth and I know it is one thing that if I don't satisfy I'm more opt to seek out the sugar filled addictive processed crap! And here I can say it contains a vegetable too so woo hoo!
Easy to prepare ... smelled great. I took a little lick before it went in the oven and was worried that the batter didn't taste sweet. I was sadly right to worry as they were decidedly NOT sweet. I'm guessing because of just "dark chocolate" I used 100% cacao. That leaves just the potatoes and the honey for sweet. So I decided to get creative! I whipped up a twist on primal fudge using just coconut oil, honey and peanut butter and poured it on top ... in the fridge you go & when firm:
The bottom adds the chocolate flavor and the 'fudge frosting' adds the sweet. Still not as good as plain old primal fudge but does the trick. (and I can still tell myself I'm getting veggies!)
