For a richer flavor, use salted butter. Pecans or walnuts can be substituted for the cashews. Canned yams, drained, can be used in place of fresh sweet potatoes for a quicker preparation time. Reduce initial bake time by 10 minutes if using canned yams. For a more intense spice flavor, add a pinch of ground cloves or allspice to the brown sugar mixture. To prevent the marshmallows from burning, broil for the last 2 minutes on low.
