1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon ground allspice

These bars were a complete disaster. The marshmallows didn't melt properly and the whole thing was a gooey mess.

I found these bars to be a bit dry. I think I would add some more butter or oil to the batter next time.

I'm not a huge fan of sweet potato desserts, but these bars were surprisingly good. The marshmallows really balance out the sweetness of the potatoes.
