Using lightly moistened hands or a spoon, cover each marshmallow with some of the sweet potato mixture. Roll in some of the crushed cereal and place in a shallow baking dish or pan. Drizzle with desired amount of caramel topping. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes to melt the marshmallow and warm the topping.
