Crust
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a food processor, blend together all crust ingredients until well combined.
Pour mixture into baking pan and press down until firmly packed and in an even layer.
Bake crust for 10 minutes.
Sweet Potato Filling
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the sweet potato to the water and let boil for 15 minutes or until you can easily pierce the potato with a fork.
Drain the potatoes and toss into the food processor. Blend until they form a smooth sweet potato puree. Let the puree cool.
Once puree is cool, blend in remaining filling ingredients.
Pour sweet potato mixture into baking pan on top of the crust.
Bake for 40 minutes at 350 degrees F.
Assembly
Once your bars are COMPLETELY cool, turn on your oven broiler to high.
Add marshmallows on top of the sweet potato filling and broil on high for 2 minutes.
Remove from oven, cut into 12 pieces, and serve!
