As others had stated, I would up the cinnamon and lessen the brown sugar. What I did was cut the marshmallow in half and roll them in crushed pecans instead of coconut to cut down on the sweetness....

My sister-in-law made this dish this year and everyone loved it, including my fiance who usually doesn't like sweet potatoes. It is a creative twist on an old favorite and I love the marshmallow center, you can hardly go wrong with that. I will include this in my future thanksgiving meals.

I tried the sweet potato balls recipe before reading the reviews. I never really cared for sweet potatoes growing up, mostly because ours always came from a can and had no taste. I love real sweet potatoes so I thought I would give this recipe a shot. One problem though, nobody in my family likes coconut. No problem, I chopped up pecans and mixed them with the cinnamon and sugar mixture and then rolled the balls in it. My 12 year old son could not wait to help me with this dish! I formed the balls around the marshmallow and he rolled them in the pecan mixture. I think it helped tone down the sweetness of the potatoes. I also layered the bottom of my baking sheet with the pecan mixture so the potatoes got a really great gooey crunch on the bottoms. I wish I had read the reviews before I made these though, a muffin pan would have kept these little balls of joy together more. It really did not matter to my family-they were still delicious!! My 12 year son who helped me make these even ate one-and he NEVER eats his veggies!! Bravo Paula

This recipe is the best for sure. This is the third year that I have made it for Thanksgiving. Everyone always tells me to please bring the Sweet Potato Balls. Great the next day too!

I tried using canned sweet potato (since another reviewer posted that she did that, but it came out way too liquidy to form balls with it. I sort of had just messy piles on my cookie sheet that flattened out a bit while baking. It all tasted delicious, but looked nothing like the picture! ;-p Also, I used half the amount of sugar called for and thought it was plenty sweet. This is a very tasty side even if it ends up all served in a big bowl! ;-

I first tried this recipe 2 years ago and it was a huge hit! It's easy, special, sweet and delicious. I've made it every year since and it's become one of my signature dishes for Thanksgiving. I love the slight orangy flavor along with the coconut - absolutely perfect. The only down side is that I worry about "exploding" the marshmallow so they never get quite as hot as maybe they could be.

I was not a fan of sweet potatoes growing up. Once I made these, my family LOVED them! Finding the marshmallow in the middle is the best part of all - like a "Veggie Snowball"!
I cut the marshamallow in half and make them a little smaller since I need to get the rest of the Thankgiving goodies on my plate, too! Momma never made sweet 'taters this yummy!!!

The taste is great for kids and the texture is nice. I think it's great for dessert. However, it's VERY delicate and it breaks easily, so it's hard to give a nice presentation with them.
