INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 9×12 baking dish and set it aside.
In a large bowl, mix all of the ingredients for the sweet potato mixture and spread the mixture in the greased 9×12 baking dish. Set it aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the ingredients for the pecan streusel together with a fork. This might take a little while to do, but keep pressing everything together with the fork until it all combines into large, flakey bits with pecans in them.
Top the sweet potato mixture with the marshmallows, then scatter the pecan mixture on top of that, careful not to break up the chunks of streusel too much as you scatter.
Bake for 25 min until golden brown on top and enjoy!
