(Yes, there is such as thing as too much marshmallow topping).We find that using half of a large marshmallow is the best way to go. To cut them in half, grease a pair of scissors with cooking spray to keep them from sticking, and cut through the equator.With this method, your sweet potato casserole will boast the creamiest topping, and the ratio of topping to filling will be perfect.America's Test Kitchen is a real 2,500 square foot test kitchen located just outside of Boston that is home to more than three dozen full-time cooks and product testers.
