Made this as part of Thanksgiving dinner. It was the hit of the side dishes. Not too sweet and the topping is just delicious, and is a perfect crunch to the smooth potatoes.

Rating this on DH's experience making it. The directions are straightforward and the ingredients list is quite easy. We already had everything on hand, so that is a huge plus. We didn't use pecans as DH can't eat nuts. I think with the pecans it would have added a different dimension. I will have to make this for someone else with the pecans and see how it turns out. The kids enjoyed it, but asked where the marshmallows were. Lol. Made and Reviewed for 123 Hit Wonders Tag - Thanks! :)
