Sweet potato surprise

The surprise comes when you cut these open to reveal an ooey gooey melty marshmallow inside, so bad but yet so good!

Ingredients

2 large sweet potatoes

50ml maple syrup

50g butter

50g brown sugar

200g crunchy nut cornflakes (crushed)

4 jumbo marshmallows

Method

1. Bake the sweet potatoes until soft. This can be done in a smoker, oven or microwave.

2. Allow to cool a little then peel the skins off and place the flesh in a bowl with the maple syrup, butter and sugar. Mash everything together and leave to cool in the fridge.

3. When cold, take a large marshmallow and form a quarter of the sweet potato mix around it into a ball. Do the same with the other 3 marshmallows.

4. Roll the balls in crushed crunchy nut cornflakes and press into the sweet potato to form a good crust.

5. Bake the balls on a tray in the BBQ or in a pre-heated oven set to 150°C for around 30-40 minutes.

6. Serve hot, drizzled with more maple syrup if you wish.
