Sweet Potato Marshmallow Casserole

I always thought it would be tough to beat sweet potatoes with marshmallows until I read this recipe from Damaris Phillips.  I have 5 words for you…mascarpone cheese and caramel sauce! That’s what makes these potatoes far superior to any others on the Thanksgiving table.  These are definitely a bit extravagant but why not indulge this fall?! This Sweet Potato Marshmallow Casserole is certainly worth it!

Luckily it is time for another month of Two Sweetie Pies!  Another month of 2 Sweetie Pies with That Skinny Chick Can Bake means another wonderful dessert! Always a success when you bake from Liz’s blog! Each month we bake up a recipe from each other and keep it a secret until reveal day! Super fun! Make sure you pop over to visit Liz and see which Hugs & Cookies recipe she chose this month.

This month I went with Liz’s Cranberry cheesecake bars….just like the Starbucks one but even better!  These would be perfect around Thanksgiving due to the cranberry sauce, of course!   The filling makes these little bars so pretty, too! I love the layers!
