Ingredients
  

4 medium sweet potatoes

1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 cup brown sugar

½ cup unsalted butter, softened

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon cinnamon

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup mini marshmallows

½ cup chopped pecans (optional)

½ cup chocolate chips

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and pierce each potato several times with a fork. This will allow steam to escape while baking.

      Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in the preheated oven for 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.

        While the sweet potatoes are baking, in a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

          Add in the cocoa powder, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until everything is well incorporated.

            Once the sweet potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.

              Cut the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh into a mixing bowl, being careful not to tear the skins.

                Add the sweet potato flesh to the brownie-like mixture and stir until combined.

                  Spoon the sweet potato and chocolate mixture back into the potato skins, heaping it up generously.

                    Top each stuffed potato with mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, and chopped pecans if using.

                      Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden and the chocolate is melty.

                        Once done, remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

                            - Presentation Tips: Arrange the stuffed sweet potatoes on a platter and drizzle with additional melted chocolate or a sprinkle of cocoa powder for a gourmet touch. Serve warm, and enjoy your delightful Mudslide Sweet Potatoes!
