Sweet Potato Fudge Recipe - A quick and easy recipe for Sweet Potato Fudge. This fudge recipe is smooth and delicious! You can add pecans if you wish.

My Pumpkin Pie Fudge is very popular with my husband and kids. The other day I was going to make some pumpkin fudge but then I decided to get a little creative with the recipe and try replacing the pumpkin with sweet potato puree, because I love changing things up.  I was a little short on white chocolate chips, so I decided to replace most of the white chocolate and spices with Cinnamon Chips. The result was absolutely delicious!

You can find sweet potato puree in a can, but it is very easy to make at home. If you buy it in a can, make sure it only contains sweet potatoes – no other ingredients! To make sweet potato puree at home, bake or steam a sweet potato and then puree it in a blender or food processor.One sweet potato will make more than enough puree for this recipe, you can use the leftover puree to make muffins or pancakes.

You can find cinnamon chips in the grocery section of Walmart for less than $2.00 a bag.

Like all of my fudge recipes, this is easy to make. The trick to perfect, melt-in-your-mouth fudge is allowing it to reach 234 degrees. You can pick up a Candy Thermometer for several dollars at your local store.

Sweet Potato Fudge Recipe

Ingredients:

  • ¾ cup butter
  • ⅔ cup evaporated milk

  5. Fold in nuts.
  6. Pour into a greased pan and cool in the refrigerator for 2 hours or until firm.

    I’ve been wracking my brain for some unique things to add to my Christmas candy and cookie platters. Peppermint and peanut butter can only go so far. This is perfect! It sounds delicious and I can’t wait to make it. Thanks for thinking outside the box!

    Alea, this fudge sounds so good. I would have never thought to use sweet potatoes to make fudge, but it looks like you found a winner. I will give this a try, my family loves fudge. Well, maybe it is just me!

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
