Follow The Directions

01

Step
2 mins

Lightly coat the inside of a slow cooker with cooking spray. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

Gently place the drained sweet potatoes into the prepared slow cooker. Evenly distribute the butter pieces over the sweet potatoes, followed by a generous sprinkling of light brown sugar. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

03

Step
3 hrs 30 mins

Cover and cook on High heat for 3 to 3 1/2 hours, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork. (Cook time: 180-210 minutes)

04

Step
15 mins

Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, carefully stir in the miniature marshmallows. Continue cooking until the marshmallows are soft, puffy, and lightly melted, approximately 15 minutes. (Cook time: 15 minutes)

05

Step

Serve immediately and enjoy the harmonious blend of sweet and creamy flavors!

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg to the sweet potatoes before cooking.
Be mindful not to overcook the marshmallows, as they can become overly melted and lose their delightful texture. Keep a close eye on them during the final 15 minutes of cooking.
This dish can be easily customized to suit your preferences. Feel free to experiment with different types of marshmallows, such as flavored or jumbo-sized marshmallows.

    I used maple syrup instead of brown sugar, and it was amazing!

    My marshmallows melted a little too much, so I'll add them closer to the end next time.

    I added a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness and it was perfect!
