Sweet Potato Pie Bites

Turning a classic dish into bite-sized delights! These Sweet Potato Pie Bites can be enjoyed as a dinner side or dessert. You can even add marshmallows on top as an additive treat!

I grew up loving the candied mashed yams with marshmallow dish my mom would make around the holidays, specifically on Thanksgiving. So I took a trip down memory land and created my own twist on this holiday dish.

I love how versatile this recipe can be. It can be used as an appetizer, a side dish for dinner, or even for dessert. This is one dish that I now always plan to make an appearance on during the holidays. And since sweet potato puree is available year-round, Joe and I find ourselves whipping up this recipe even when the holidays are over.

Additional options: try changing out the sweet potato puree for pumpkin puree or butternut squash puree.
