Sweet Potato Balls

Sweet Potato Balls:

I drain a large can of Bruce's sweet potatoes and hand mash with one cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup melted margarine. Wrap this mixture around a large marshmallow then roll in crushed corn flakes. Place in a buttered 9x13 and bake in 350* oven for 30" or until marshmallow starts to ooze. If cooked too long marshmallow just melts into ball.
