Kathee's Special Balls


This is my most requested Thanksgiving dish I make, and every year I have to look through all my cookbooks for several hours to find it. Not any more, now it will be here, safe and sound!! So here it is, the famous recipe of my amazing balls!!

2 cups mashed sweet potatoes
12 large marshmallows
3/4 cup finely crushed cornflakes (I use frosted cuz I'm crazy like that)
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 tbsp. milk
1/4 cup butter

Mold a spoonful of the sweet potatoes around each marshmallow; roll in cornflake crumbs. Place in a shallow baking dish. In a saucepan, bring brown sugar, milk and butter to a boil; pour over the balls. Bake uncovered at 350 for 15 minutes. You may want to double this, or people may be screaming for more balls. I'm just saying....... it's happened before!!!!
