Without the quintessential sweet potato casserole side dish, no holiday gathering would be complete. It's the dish I look forward to every year as we all know it's really a dessert disguised as a side dish on the holiday table!In this recipe, sweet potato casserole gets a tasty makeover usingMelinda's Mango Habanero Hot Sauce, which is an amazing compliment to sweet potatoes. Melinda's Mango Habanero is flavorful yet not very spicy and balances this sweet potato dish perfectly.And for the diehard sweet potato casserole fans, this dish wouldn't be complete without the quintessential marshmallow topping. However, I couldn't ruin this beautiful dish with basic store-bought marshmallows made with corn syrup. This dish gets an upgrade by makingMelinda's Hot Honey Marshmallows, which are much easier to make than you might think! This part is optional butoh-so-worth it! Plus, you can use these marshmallows to make s'mores or add to hot cocoa. You can even make a batch to gift for the holidays in DIY s'mores kits.The marshmallow topping on this casserole gives wonderful hot honey flavor and satisfying gooeyness you want in a dessert masquerading as a side dish. Note that in this sweet potato casserole recipe below I've swapped some of the sugar with monk fruit alternatives to reduce the amount of sugar, but you can go full sugar in the recipe if you like. It is the holidays after all! One day of the year it's okay to splurge!Notes: Make the marshmallows a day in advance so they have time to cool before putting on the sweet potato casserole. Then, plan s'more-making festivities accordingly!
