Ingredients:
Cooking spray
3 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 1/4 lbs.), scrubbed clean
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 (8-ounce) can refrigerated crescent rolls
3/4 cup mini marshmallows
24 whole pecans
3 tablespoons maple syrup (optional, for serving)

Instructions:
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and spray a mini muffin tin with cooking spray. Pierce each sweet potato 3 to 4 times with a fork. Place the potatoes on a microwave-safe plate and microwave for 15 minutes. If they’re not fork-tender after 15 minutes, continue microwaving in 30-second increments until they are.
  2. Once the potatoes are cooked through, scoop the filling into a large bowl and discard the skins. Using a potato masher or fork, mash the sweet potatoes until smooth. Stir in the brown sugar, heavy cream, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt until well combined.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the crescent dough and pinch the seams together. Cut the dough into 24 squares and place each square into the cups of the muffin tin.
  4. Spoon a generous tablespoon of the sweet potato mixture into each crescent square, then top with mini marshmallows. Bake until the crescent pastry is golden brown, about 12-15 minutes. After that, place a pecan in the center of each bite and bake for an additional 5 minutes. If desired, brush the pecans with maple syrup before serving.
