S'mores Sweet Potato Bites

For an appetizer, sweet side, dessert, or game-day treat- these s'mores sweet potato bites are a crowd-pleaser!

Move over Grandma's sweet potato casserole- time for a brand new take! Actually, my Grandma's were never known for sweet potato casserole...maybe I just don't know what I am missing. But, these are light, sweet, fun, and take a lot less time to prepare!

Much like their fellow orange neighbors- carrots, sweet potatoes can go savory or sweet. They are terrific roasted, mashed, baked, French-fried, planked, bruschetta-ed, or in a breakfast hash! They can also be turned into cake, cookies, and pie!

Small appetizers and mini desserts are often my favorite to create. They tend to be much more fun to eat, and take less time to prepare. Plus, you get to come back for seconds without the guilt! Most sweet potato casseroles take at least an hour to prepare. These little guys are super cute and only take 20 minutes from start to finish!

Are yams and sweet potatoes the same???

No, they are not the exact same. Sweet potatoes have orange-red skin, orange flesh, and are sweet. Yams have brown skin, white flesh, and a neutral flavor. It’s rare to find yams in American grocery stores. Part of the confusion comes from sweet potatoes often being labeled as yams in many grocery stores and premade products. While they may look somewhat similar, yams are not even potatoes.

 

Why is it called a s'more?

A very popular camping snack- s'mores are campfire-toasted marshmallows, smashed into a graham cracker and chocolate sandwich. Credit for these sweet treats is given to the Girl Scouts. In the 1920s, a recipe was published for "some mores." As in, give me...
