Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 8 full Graham Crackers crushed into crumbs
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
  • 4 Tbsp Butter melted
  • 1/8 tsp Salt

For the Filling:

  • 3 Large Sweet Potatoes
  • 1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk 14 ounces
  • 1/4 cup Butter softened
  • 2 Large Eggs room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

For the Topping:

  • 2 cups Mini Marshmallows

Instructions

  • Poke the sweet potatoes with a fork and wrap in foil. Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 45-50 minutes until the potatoes are soft. You may need more cook time depending on the size of your sweet potatoes.
  • Allow the sweet potatoes to cool. 
  • Reduce the oven temperature down to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.  
  • Line an 8X8 baking dish with parchment paper.  
  • Crush up the graham crackers in a food processor to make graham cracker crumbs.
  • Mix together the crust ingredients in a medium size mixing bowl.  Then press this mixture into the bottom of the 8X8 baking pan.
  • Bake the crust for 15 minutes to 25 minutes.  
  • While the crust is baking, prepare the filling mixture.  Remove the foil and the skin from the sweet potatoes.
  • Place the sweet potatoes in a large bowl. Add in all the other filling ingredients to the bowl.  Mix until thoroughly combined.
  • Pour the filling over the crust and bake for 35 to 45 minutes. Cook until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. 
  • Let the bars cool completely at room temperature. Then chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until ready to serve. 
  • When serving, top with the mini marshmallows and broil for 2-3 minutes to brown the marshmallows slightly. 
  • Slice into squares and the bars are ready to serve and enjoy.

Notes

Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
