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 yam bonbons were a total disaster. They fell apart when I tried to fry them and they tasted like cardboard.

These yam bonbons were a bit bland. I would recommend adding more spices to the recipe.
