Holiday Sweet Potato Stuffed Orange Cups

Makes 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 large sweet potatoes baked
  • 3 large navel oranges
  • 6 large marshmallows
  • 6 pecan halves
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • After baking the sweet potatoes, let cool slightly, then scoop out the sweet potato from the skins. Place in a bowl and mashed with a fork.  Discard the skins. This can be done the day before if you'd like.
  • Add melted butter, vanilla, and brown sugar to the bowl of sweet potato. Mix well.
  • Cut a thin slice from the top and bottom of each orange to make a flat surface.
  • Cut each orange in half and scoop out the pulp (reserve the orange segments for another time).
  • Place the orange cups on a baking sheet.
  • Spoon the sweet potato mixture evenly into each orange cup.
  • Top each with a large marshmallow and a pecan half.
  • Bake until marshmallow is toasted and brown and potatoes are warm, about 15-20 minutes.
  • Serve warm and enjoy!
