Twice- Baked Sweet Potatoes

4 sweet potatoes (8 ounces each) unpeeled
1 tablespoon reduced-calorie margarine
1/2 teaspoon brown sugar substitute
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 can (8 ounces) crushed pinnapple canned in juice
2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
3/4 cup mini marshmallows

How to prepare:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees fahrenheit. Wrap each sweet potato in foil, place on oven rack, and bake for one hour, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from oven and allow to cool 15 minutes.

Cut each potato in half lengthwise and carefully scoop flesh into a bowl, leaving shells intact with 1/8 - 1/7 inch of flesh. Place shells in a baking dish and set aside. Using and electric mixer, mash flesh until smooth. Mix in margarine, brown sugar substitute, and spices. Drain pineapples well, forcing out extra liquid with the back of a spoon. Stir drained pineapples into mashed sweet potatoes, spoon filling into shells, sprinkle with walnuts and press in marshmallows. Then put back into oven for 8-10 minutes, or until marshmallows are slightly toasted and potato is heated through.
