Sweet Potato Casserole

Submitted by Finneus Fudge

"We created this recipe with our maple syrup loving neighbor in mind. We liked the combination of nuts and marshmallows as the topping, along with the flavors of the maple syrup and the rum. If you like things less sweet, cut both the brown sugar and the maple syrup in half."
