Chocolate Dipped Sweet Potato Toast with Strawberry Salsa
Day 5!! We did it guys – we ate sweet potatoes all week and we are packed with Vitamin A & C – we deserve dessert! When I had the idea pop in my head to dip sweet potato toast in chocolate I wasn’t sure how it would taste. But if I have learned anything from topping these babies with everything I could over the last year, I know that sweet potatoes and sweet go hand in hand! Ya know how people coat sweet taters with brown sugar and marshmallows at thanksgiving? It’s because they LOVE their natural sugars to shine through! Trust me, they told me, they love it. 🙂 So I am pumped to be teaming up with California Giant Berry Farms once again to top this Chocolate Dipped Sweet Potato Toast with Strawberry Salsa! The rain has been crazier than ever in Southern California this year where California Giant is located and the berries are better than ever. If you follow me on instagram you might have seen me get a package of strawberries from them and see the strawberry that was almost the size of my palm! They aren’t always that big but when I see one that is I get super excited… there I go again getting too excited about food. I just love a big, juicy and ripe strawberry because it is basically the earth’s candy.
California Giant is such a freaking amazing partner for many reasons but I think my favorite thing about them is their transparency as they are a small family owned farm. You can even go on their website and enter your carton number to see the farm your berries were grown on! If that isn’t the most adorable thing, I don’t know what is. You can read more about their company here and even get a ton more berry recipes on their site because TIS THE SEASON! But for now we will direct our attention to these sweet strawberries mixed with some blueberries, honey and mint!! I love adding mint with strawberries because it just works so well and makes it even more fresh with with chocolate on the sweet tater.
I use this ZHEN knife and it is AMAZING at cutting through a tough sweet tater!
