Sweet Potato Marshmallow Delights
Description
Purchased from Zimmerman Estate in Terrell, Texas in 1989. This recipe indicates it came from an old community cookbook published in 1956. Unfortunately, doesn’t give the name of that cookbook. I made these and didn’t care for them, but had reviews from my supper club and gave the recipe to 14 different people, so must just be me.
