Ingredients to make chocolate panellets:
1. To start with the recipe for chocolate panellets for children you must first roast the sweet potatoes or potatoes. Regardless of the food chosen for the sweet, we cook it with skin and, once made, let it fit a little, we proceed to peel and crush.
Trick: The sweet potatoes or potatoes are preferable to baked instead of cooking food to prevent water from taking.
2. Apart, we mix in a large bowl or container the ground almond with sugar and cocoa. Ideally, use glasses or sprayed sugar, but if you don have it you can always crush common sugar, or use it without crushing, the result will be equally soft but less soft in terms of texture.
3. Now, add the eggs and integrate them. Finally, we incorporate the potato or sweet potato puree, and knead until the dough is completely joined. We tried and decided whether we add more cocoa or not, since this ingredient is a bit to taste. And once the mass of the chocolate panellets, we let it stand for at least one hour.
4. After the rest time, we form balls of the size of a golf ball to obtain perfect chocolate panellets.

Of course, another option is to opt for the three and make varied chocolate panellets, what a delight! Likewise, you can also leave the balls without decorating, flatten them slightly with your hands and make a small hole with your finger to bake them fill it with molten chocolate, or place a dry fruit like a hazelnut.
Trick: If it costs you that the decoration is attached to the panellets, beat an egg and ask them before.
5. We place the chocolate panellets decorated on a tray lined with vegetable paper and bake with the preheated oven at 200 ºC for 10 minutes at most. It is not necessary to bake them much, since if we go, they could harden too much and melt the chocolate chips.
6. Let them cool and serve the chocolate panellets for children and adults. Remember that if you chose not to decorate and leave the hole, you must melt a little chocolate and fill it with it.
