These Halloween white chocolate eyeballs have a surprise filling: purple sweet potato! A much healthier option for trick or treating kids on Halloween!
1¼ lbs(567g)purple sweet potato, peeled and chopped into chunks
3 tablespoons(42g)salted butter
¼ cup(40g)light brown sugar
2 tablespoonsheavy cream
5.3 oz(150g)white chocolate, chopped
Instructions
Boil the peeled and chopped sweet potatoes in a saucepan until tender.
Put the drained sweet potatoes, butter, sugar, and heavy cream into a bowl and mash together. Let the mixture cool completely.
Take a tablespoonful of the cooled sweet potato mixture and roll it up into a ball. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge.
While the sweet potato balls are chilling, temper the white chocolate.
Dip each sweet potato ball into the tempered white chocolate and let them harden. Once they've hardened completely, paint on the iris, pupils, and veins using gel food color.
