Ingredients

Crust

  • 2 sleeves graham crackers
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 8 tbsp reduced fat margarine melted

Filling

  • 1 cup mashed sweet potato
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tsp all spice
  • 1 ½ cups white chocolate morsels melted
  • 1 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • To make crust: Line an 8"-x-8" baking pan with parchment paper. In a food processor, pulse graham crackers, sugar, and salt until fine crumbs. Add melted butter and pulse until texture resembles wet sand. Press into pan and bake until golden for about 10 minutes.
  • Let cool completely. (I usually place my crust in the refrigerator until the filling is ready)
  • For the filling, add sweet potato, vanilla, cinnamon, all spice, melted white chocolate, and Greek yogurt to blender and combine until texture is smooth. Pour on top of graham cracker crust and spread evenly. Sprinkle pecans on top.
  • Place in refrigerator for about 2-3 hours or until set. You can let even let them set overnight in the refrigerator.
  • When bars are firm, cut into bars and serve!

Notes

*Store bars in the refrigerator, or place them in the freezer for a frozen treat!!
