How to Make Sweet Potato Chocolate Bars
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Wash and scrub 2 large sweet potatoes. Rub with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake until fork-tender, approximately 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Check for doneness by inserting a fork.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely. Once cool, peel and mash in a large bowl.
- Add 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 large eggs, and 2 1/2 cups milk to the mashed sweet potatoes. Mix thoroughly.
- Set aside the sweet potato mixture.
- Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
- Combine 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs and 1/2 cup chopped pecans in a food processor. Pulse until finely ground.
- With the food processor running, gradually add 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter. Process until combined.
- Press the graham cracker crust mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 13 x 18 inch baking pan. Use your fingers to firmly pack the crumbs.
- Pour the sweet potato mixture evenly into the prepared crust.
- In a medium saucepan, melt 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate morsels with 1/2 cup milk over medium heat, stirring constantly until smooth.
- Spoon the melted chocolate over the sweet potato mixture in three lengthwise rows, about 2 inches apart.
- Use a knife to create a marbled effect by swirling the chocolate into the sweet potato mixture.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and the filling is set.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely before cutting into bars.
- Once cooled, cut into bars and serve.
