Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp. Maple syrup, for serving (optional)

  • 24 Whole pecans

  • 3/4 cup Mini marshmallows

  • 8 oz. Refrigerated Crescent rolls

  • 1/2 tsp. Kosher salt

  • 1/2 tsp. Pure vanilla extract oil

  • 1/2 tsp. Ground cinnamon

  • 2 tbsp. Heavy cream

  • 1/4 cup Packed brown sugar

  • 3 Medium sweet potatoes, scrubbed clean

  • Cooking spray

Method

  • 01
    Preheat oven to 375℉ and grease a mini muffin tin with cooking spray. Pierce sweet potatoes 3 to 4 times with a fork. Place potato on a microwave-safe plate and microwave 15 minutes. If your potatoes don't fork tender after 15 minutes, continue microwaving in 30-second increments.
  • 02
    When potatoes are cooked through, scrape filling into a large bowl and discard skin. Using a potato masher or fork, mash sweet potatoes until smooth. Add brown sugar, heavy cream, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt and whisk to combine.
  • 03
    On a lightly floured surface, roll out crescent dough, and pinch together seams. Cut into 24 squares and place in muffin tin cups.
  • 04
    Spoon a heaping tablespoon of sweet potato mixture into each crescent square, then top with mini marshmallows and bake until crescent pastry is golden for about 15 minutes. Add a pecan to the center of each bite and bake 5 minutes more. If using, brush pecans with maple syrup before serving.
