katii's Note:

I thought this recipe was awsome. I made it for some company that came over and everybody wanted the recipe. It was easy to prepare and gave a new twist to sweet potatoes. Definately make it again. Thank you

I really liked these sweet potatoes, my family was less enthusiastic. My youngest was just diagnosed with the corn allergy and we can't have their sweet potato mash topped with marshmellows anymore. I made it GF with Barbara's Brown rice crispies. It will be served again and they just have to get used to it.
