🍠 Candied Sweet Potato & Bacon Skewers 🥓

A perfect blend of sweet and savory to jazz up your family gatherings or add a unique touch to your holiday table!

🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️

- 1 cup marshmallow fluff
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 12-16 strips of bacon, depending on skewer count
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
- Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 20 minutes to prevent burning

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳

1. Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easier cleanup.
2. Toss the sweet potato chunks with olive oil and arrange them on the baking sheet. Roast for about 20-25 minutes, or until tender but firm. Allow to cool slightly.
3. While the sweet potatoes roast, partially cook the bacon in a frying pan over medium heat until it's flexible but not fully crisp, about 5-6 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
4. Begin assembling the skewers by alternating pieces of sweet potato with bacon, wrapping the bacon around each potato chunk before skewering.
5. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture generously over the prepared skewers.
6. Place the skewers back on the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the sugar has caramelized.
7. Briefly heat the marshmallow fluff in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds until it's warm and fluid. Drizzle over the hot skewers before serving.
8. Serve the skewers warm, and watch them disappear!
