if you’re craving something chocolatey, fudgy, nourishing and satisfying, these triple chocolate sweet potato chocolate bars are going to be your new favorite treat.
they’re rich, doughy, and deeply chocolate-forward with a texture that sits somewhere between a brownie and a silky truffle bar.
the best part? they’re made with whole food ingredients like dates, almond butter, cocoa, and white sweet potato—so you can feel good about every bite.
these bars are pure chocolate heaven.
the base is soft, chewy, and almost brownie-like thanks to blended dates and cocoa powder.
it has that satisfying stick-to-your-teeth richness with a hint of nuttiness from almond butter.
the sweet potato chocolate filling is where things get dreamy—it’s creamy, silky, and holds together beautifully, with deep cocoa flavor and a smooth finish from melted dark chocolate.
the two layers together create a luscious, triple-chocolate bite with a little extra snap from the melted chocolate topping.
these bars are packed with plant-based goodness.
dates bring fiber, natural sweetness, and essential minerals like potassium and magnesium.
white sweet potato is a surprising star here—it’s subtly sweet, loaded with antioxidants and vitamin c, and gives the filling its soft, creamy structure without needing any dairy or eggs.
almond butter adds healthy fats and protein, while cocoa powder and dark chocolate provide that intense chocolate flavor and a boost of antioxidants.
they’re sweetened with just dates and a little maple syrup—no refined sugar in sight.
making these bars is super simple:
no baking required (other than roasting the sweet potato), and everything comes together with simple whole food ingredients.
these bars store beautifully.

these look great. I’m not a big fan of dates though so i’m wondering if there is something else i can substitute for at least some of them? or just reduce them?
thanks.

hi! there’s no sub for them in this recipe :)!
Hi Mary,
Wow—these bars are like the dream team of dessert and nutrition! I was especially intrigued by the white sweet potato base—such a creative swap that I’ve never thought to use in chocolate recipes before. The fact that it brings creaminess without dairy is genius. I also appreciate how approachable you made this recipe, especially with the no-bake filling (minus roasting the potato, of course!). I’m already thinking of adding a dash of espresso powder next time to intensify the chocolate even more. Thanks for another thoughtfully developed recipe—I can always count on your blog to surprise me with a combo I haven’t seen before!
Hi!
This is my first recipe of yours that I’m trying. 😀 I’ve been following you for a long time and have been so eager to make something!! I don’t have the cream cheese, just wondering if you think yogurt could be a good replacement?
Thank you for all you do!!
awww thank you!! you can use yogurt- it will make the texture more runny though
Hi I would love to make these! I cannot find white sweet potatoes at any of my grocery stores. Would a normal sweet potato be alright?
yes, definitely!!
