These sweet potato balls are the perfect party appetizer. They're easy to make, delicious, and always a crowd-pleaser. I like to serve them with a dipping sauce, such as honey mustard or ranch dressing.

These sweet potato balls were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred them if they had been made with less sugar. Other than that, they were very good!
