Recipe Tips

- To make the mashed sweet potatoes, peel and dice 2 medium sweet potatoes. Boil them in a pot of water until tender, then mash them with a fork or potato masher. - If you don't have chocolate cookie crumbs, you can make them by crushing chocolate sandwich cookies in a plastic bag with a rolling pin or in a food processor. - For a slightly healthier version, you can use a graham cracker crust instead of a chocolate one.
