Ingredients:

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1 (15 ounce) can sweet potato puree
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • Crust
    • 1 cup graham crackers (crushed)
    • ¼ cup unsalted butter (melted)
    • 2 teaspoons sugar

    • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
    • 7½ ounces Marshmallow Fluff©
    • 1½ cups powdered sugar
    • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
    • Pinch of kosher salt
  • Pecans (toasted, chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350° F and line a muffin tin with 12 cupcake liners.

In a large bowl, mix cake mix with canned sweet potato, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.

In a large bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, butter, sugar, and salt in a small bowl. Press about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each cupcake liner. Top graham cracker crusts with a scoop of batter.

Bake until cupcakes are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 22 minutes. Let cool completely.
