Sweet Potatoes with Marshmallows

So my mom has for years doggedly professed her hatred for sweet potatoes... something stemming from a bad episode when she was a child... At any rate, she ate these and allowed she indeed liked them. (recipe found on Pioneer Woman's Tasty Kitchen, then tweaked a bit)

4 medium sweet potatoes
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground all-spice
½ teaspoon nutmeg
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 egg
3 Tablespoons butter
marshmallows

Boil sweet potatoes in salted water until tender; about 30 minutes. Drain potatoes and slip off skins.

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Mix all ingredients with mixer, including potatoes.

Cook for 25 minutes, cover with marshmallows if desired, and cook until mallows are browned and melted (about 5 minutes).

S'mores Brownies

8-10 graham crackers
1 box fudge brownie mix
3 cups miniature marshmallows
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Place graham crackers (cut to fit) in a single layer on the bottom of a greased 9x13 pan (line the pan with foil to easily remove the brownies and cut them into squares). Prepare brownie mix according to package directions, then pour the batter over the graham crackers. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove the pan from the oven and top with the marshmallows and chocolate chips. Return the pan to the oven for 3 more minutes. Remove from oven and cool before cutting into squares.
