semi sweet dark chocolate sweet potato brownies
Saturday 19th September
I’m a lover of dark chocolate and these semi sweet
dark chocolate sweet potato brownies are the perfect
combination of bitterness and sweetness with some
slightly healthier switches than traditional brownies
so you won’t have the awful sugar crash after eating
them. I like to slice them up and take them to work
with me for an afternoon sweet treat rather that
reaching for the chocolate and lollies that always
seem to be on hand in a oncology department thanks
to our beautiful patients.
I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
