Chocolate Sweet Potato Balls

One of my favorite quick snacks to have on hand: any kind of date/nut balls! I'm always coming up with new varieties. Just throw the ingredients in the food processor and you're ready to go. I like these Chocolate Sweet Potato Balls because they sneak in a vegetable, and you'd never know. The sweet potato adds a nice sweetness and moisture. And again, more chocolate flavor in a healthy way. I'll add some to my breakfast or grab a few before heading out to the gym.
