Bring the sweet potatoes to a boil over high heat for 15 minutes, just to par boil them.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Once the potatoes cool, peel them by cutting off the ends and using a knife to remove the skin.

Chop the sweet potatoes into even-sized pieces.

In a bowl, melt 1 stick of butter and add 1/4 cup of pineapple juice, 1/2 cup of raw honey, and 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract. Stir to combine.

Place the chopped sweet potatoes in a baking dish in a single layer.

Pour the glaze over the sweet potatoes, ensuring they are well coated.

Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cinnus, 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg, and 1 tablespoon of pumpkin pie spice over the sweet potatoes.

Add 1 1/2 cups of brown sugar and drizzle 1/4 cup of pure maple syrup over the top.

Bake for 25 minutes at 350°F (175°C).

If using marshmallows, turn off the oven after baking and place marshmallows on top, allowing them to melt in the residual heat.
