Ingredients

Ingredients:

16 wonton wrappers

1 small sweet potato

1 tablespoon salted butter

1 tablespoon raw sugar, or brown sugar

1/4 cup Jack Daniel's Whiskey

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 tablespoon molasses

Preparation

Directions:

Brush the wonton wrappers lightly with oil, stack two together turning the top one a quarter turn so that the basket has 8 points; fit into a mini muffin tin. Bake at 375 degrees for 7 minutes. Can be made 2 days in advance, covered and stored at room temperature.

Pierce sweet potato several times with fork and place on a plate. Microwave for 5 to 6 minutes. When cool enough to handle, scrap out pulp into a bowl. Add butter and raw sugar. Mash with a fork.

Fill wonton baskets with about 1 tablespoon of sweet potato.

Mix Jack Daniel with brown sugar and molasses. Dribble about 1 tablespoon on top of sweet potatoes. Serves 8
