Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes with Marshmallow Topping

 Ahhh, yes.  The good ol' sweet potato.  The potato's sweeter, more attractive sister. I absolutely love sweet potatoes.  Not only because they're packed with nutrients but they're just so darn delish.  

This yummy side dish is easy to make and you probably have all the ingredients already in your pantry. 

What you'll Need:

4 sweet potatoes

3 Tablespoons packed brown sugar

3 Tablespoons butter/margarine

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

1/4 tsp. salt

miniature marshmallows

To start off, bake or microwave your sweet potatoes until soft.  If you bake them in the oven at 350 degrees they usually take around 30 minutes or so.  I prefer to microwave them.  Cuts the time in half.

Once they're cooked, slice lengthwise in half.  Scoop out the insides into a bowl, leaving a 1/4 inch thick border of sweet potato and the skin.  (I always rush mine and not wait until they're cool enough to handle and a lot of times mine break.  It's not pretty.) 

See what I mean?  Not attractive. But delicious none the less, so lets move on.

 Add remaining ingredients (except marshmallows) into the bowl and stir until butter melts and the mixture is smooth. No need to use your fancy Nancy hand mixer for this.  Just a good ol' wooden spoon and some muscle.  Spoon mixture back into the skin 'shells'.  Top with marshmallows. 

Bake at 375 degrees for about 15 minutes or until marshmallows have melted and are golden brown.

Serve warm.

Enjoy!
