Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare the baking pan by lining it with aluminum foil.
- In a food processor, combine graham crackers, granulated sugar, and fine sea salt. Pulse until fine crumbs, about 30-40 seconds. Add melted butter and pulse until combined. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan and bake for 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, mix sweet potato puree, sugar, eggs, milk, cream, bourbon or vanilla, salt, and spices until smooth. Pour over the cooled crust.
- Bake the filling for 40 minutes or until set at the edges, with a slight wobble in the center. Allow to cool at room temperature for about an hour.
Marshmallow Topping
- Beat egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
- In a saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, water, and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat until sugar dissolves; then bring to a boil. Cook until it reaches 240°F (115°C). Carefully pour hot syrup into beaten egg whites and beat until thick and glossy, about 5 minutes.
- Spread the marshmallow topping over the cooled filling and create peaks. Toast using a kitchen torch or broil briefly in the oven, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Chill the pie bars in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before slicing.

Notes
Ensure crust is tightly packed for easy slicing. Use a food processor for the crust for even texture. Watch the baking carefully to avoid overcooking. Chill bars for best flavor and texture.
