Hot Chocolate with (Shhh!) Sweet Potatoes

Thanks to Sharon Suhr in California for this recipe from the "Deceptively Delicious" cookbook!  Most of the time I try to steer clear of recipes with sugar for Heart to Heart, but for moms who can't get their children to eat vegetables, this is a start!

1/2 cup of pureed sweet potato
1 1/2 cup milk
2 Tbsp. chocolate syrup  (I like the Trader Joe's kind with no HFCS) ... you may want to play with more/less of the milk and choc syrup to suit your taste.
Blend in a blender; then pour in a sauce pan and bring it to a light simmer (stirring constantly).  You can add a bit of cinnamon too, which is good.  I added some whipped cream and it was perfect!
