Recipe by Rebecca Feldman, Honey’s Holistic Chef


Ingredients:

  • 1 cup mashed purple sweet potato** (about 1 medium purple sweet potato, cooked and cooled)

  • ½ cup almond butter

  • ½ cup fresh aronia berries**, whole

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice

  • ¼ tsp sea salt (optional but recommended)

  • ½ cup cacao nibs, for rolling 


Directions:

  1. Steam or roast the purple sweet potato until very soft. Cool slightly and mash until smooth (measure after mashing).

  2. In a medium bowl, stir together mashed sweet potato, almond butter, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, and sea salt until fully combined.

  3. Gently fold in the aronia berries, keeping them mostly whole for tart bursts.

  4. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of mixture and roll into balls. Roll each bite in cacao nibs to coat the outside.

  5. Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes until firm.


Texture Notes (important for consistency):

  • Too soft? Chill the mixture 10 minutes before rolling.

  • Too firm? Mix in 1–2 teaspoons of warm water or a touch more almond butter.
