Carrot Marshmallow Balls - cooking recipe

Ingredients

9 large marshmallows
1 cup soft breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
4 cups peeled carrots, sliced
2 cups water
3 tablespoons butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
salt
1 teaspoon grated orange rind
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
1 cup soft breadcrumbs or 1 cup corn flake crumbs

Preparation

Set oven to 375 degrees.
Grease a 13\" x 9\" pan.
Have 9 large marshmallows ready.
In a bowl, combine 1 cup soft breadcrumbs, sugar and cinnamon.
Cook carrots in water until soft; drain well, and mash.
Add the butter, brown sugar, nutmeg, salt, grated orange rind, chopped pecans and 1 cup bread crumbs or cornflake crumbs to warmed mashed carrots; mix thoroughly.
Scoop a heaping tablespoon of the carrot mixture, and press a marshmallow into the center; cover with the carrot mixture to form a ball.
Roll each ball in crumb mixture, and space balls in a greased baking pan; with a toothpick, make a small hole on the top of the ball for the marshmallow and the air to escape.
Bake for 20-25 minutes.
Cool 5 minutes before serving.
