Sweet potato balls rolled in coconut, with a marshmallow in the center! This combo is delicious! Very easy to make...but notice I never said they were low in calories!!! I save this one for special occasions! (By Paula Deen, Food TV)

Ingredients
- 4 large sweet potatoes
- 2/3 cups packed brown sugar
- 2 Tablespoons orange juice
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 2 cups shredded coconut, sweetened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 large marshmallow per ball
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Bake the potatoes until tender, then peel and mash them. Stir in the brown sugar, orange juice, orange zest and nutmeg. In a separate bowl, toss the coconut with the sugar and cinnamon. Press mashed potatoes around each marshmallow, creating a 2 - 3 inch diameter ball. Roll the balls in the coconut mixture. Bake for 15 - 20 minutes. Watch carefully for the last few minutes of baking, the expanding marshmallows can cause the potato balls to burst open.

Hi Angel!
That's exactly what I was thinking when I typed the description about "making it for special occasions".
Not the kind of side that you made on a regular basis!
I hope you and your family will love them!
Thanks for writing!
