I haven't tried this recipe but it looks like it might be too sweet for some with the brown sugar and two bags of marshmallows. If making this, I would not use the marshmallows stirred into the sweet potatoes, but just add a single layer of marshmallows to the top before baking.

Just a suggestion,
