Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
Salt
3/4 cups chicken broth
1/3 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons butter plus 2 tablespoons melted

Add 3 tablespoons of butter, pumpkin pie spice, a generous pinch of salt and pepper, and stir to combine. Add the cooked sweet potatoes and gently toss to coat. Cook until the liquid has reduced down and is a syrupy consistency and the sweet potatoes are tender, about 5 minutes, making sure to stir every minute.
  • In a large bowl combine the corn cereal, pecans, maple syrup, and 2 tablespoons melted butter and stir until combined. Set aside.
  • Top the sweet potatoes with an even layer of marshmallows and let cook for 3 minutes to allow them to melt a bit. Top with the crunchy topping. Reduce heat to low and cook until marshmallows are completely melted, about 2 minutes.
