Method
 

Steps
  1. Peel and chop your sweet potatoes into 1-inch chunks. Place them directly into the crockpot, ensuring they’re evenly distributed for even cooking.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and vanilla extract. Stir well until all ingredients are smoothly blended, creating a sweet aroma.
  3. Pour the glaze over the sweet potatoes, making sure to coat each piece. If desired, add ⅓ cup of water or orange juice for extra moisture and flavor enhancement.
  4. Cover the crockpot and set it to cook on LOW for 4-5 hours or HIGH for 2-3 hours. Stir occasionally for a perfect consistency, until the potatoes are tender and flavors meld.
  5. About 10-15 minutes before serving, sprinkle the mini marshmallows generously on top. Cover again and let them melt into a gooey, sweet topping.
  6. Gently stir the melted marshmallows into the sweet potatoes or serve them as a delightful topping. Enjoy your warm, comforting dish with family or guests.
