Serve this refreshingly sweet side dish to your guests in separate cups you craft...from oranges! All you have to do is cut oranges in half, scoop out the fruit and fill the peel with the sweet potato mixture. It's a hit among our family and friends. -Melonie Bowers, Sugarcreek, Ohio

These cups were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think I would like them better if I used less sugar.

These cups were easy to make and turned out great! I used a muffin tin instead of a mini muffin tin and they still came out perfect.
