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.
