Two ingredients, chocolate & sweet potato, drew my attention to this recipe, & we weren't disappointed ~ VERY, VERY NICE TASTING BROWNIES, these! Also appreciated the fact that they were so moist that they didn't really need any topping (other than some homemade fudge sauce when I paired brownie & frozen vanilla yogurt)! Thanks for sharing a very nice recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed as part of my theme Yam It Up! in the current Comfort Cafe]
