Bringing It All Together

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter.
Press the mixture into the bottom of a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
In another bowl, mix together the sweet potatoes, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and eggs until smooth.
Pour the sweet potato mixture over the crust and spread evenly.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the filling is set.
Allow to cool slightly, then top with mini marshmallows.
Broil for 1-2 minutes until the marshmallows are toasted.
Let cool before cutting into bars and serving.

Making It Your Own (Swaps & Ideas)

Feel free to swap out the graham cracker crumbs for a different crust like oatmeal or nut crust for a twist. You can also add spices like ginger for an extra kick. If you prefer, you can use fresh sweet potatoes instead of canned, just make sure they’re cooked and mashed well.

How We Love to Serve It

These pie bars taste fantastic on their own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I also love to drizzle some caramel sauce on top for added sweetness. They’re perfect for a dessert table at holidays or any family gathering.

A Few Tips For Success

Make sure the sweet potatoes are fully cooked and mashed. This will give you a smooth filling. When broiling the marshmallows, keep a close eye on them; they can burn quickly. Lastly, make sure to let the bars cool before cutting for the best results.

Saving Some For Later

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. They will keep for about 3-4 days. You can also freeze them for longer storage. Just make sure to wrap each bar well before placing it in a freezer-safe bag or container.
