Perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any cozy gathering, this recipe combines the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes with rich, buttery flavors and a gooey marshmallow topping.

1. Prepare the Crockpot: Spray an 8-quart slow cooker with non-stick spray to ensure easy cleanup.
2. Combine Ingredients: Place the diced sweet potatoes into the slow cooker. Add the packed brown sugar, pure maple syrup, sliced butter, pumpkin pie spice (or cinnamon and nutmeg), and salt. Stir everything together until the sweet potatoes are evenly coated.
3. Cook to Perfection: Cover the slow cooker and set it on high for 4 hours. The sweet potatoes will become fork-tender, and a luscious sauce will form at the bottom. For a thicker consistency, you can pour out the excess sauce or drizzle it over the potatoes when serving.
4. Add Marshmallows: Five minutes before serving, remove the lid and sprinkle the mini marshmallows over the sweet potatoes. Replace the lid and let the marshmallows melt for 3 to 5 minutes, creating a gooey, irresistible topping.
5. Serve and Enjoy: Serve this Crockpot sweet potatoes with marshmallows immediately while warm. It pairs perfectly with roasted turkey, ham, or your favorite holiday mains.
