Yam Bonbons image

This recipe was taken from a local newspaper & tweaked slightly! Although they take a bit of time to make, they are tasty little bites! Preparation time does not include time needed for yams to cool in refrigerator.

These were so easy to make! I was worried they would be too sweet, but the yams and spices balanced each other out perfectly. I served them with a side of roasted vegetables and everyone loved them.

I've never cooked with yams before, but these bonbons were a great introduction. They were sweet and savory, and the texture was perfect. I'll be experimenting with more yam recipes in the future.
