Combine the pecans, walnuts, and hazelnuts into a ziplock plastic bag and pound with a meat mallet to crush into tiny pieces. Then add to a large mixing bowl.
Stir in the brown sugar, melted butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, and nutmeg and combine well. Gently toss in the sliced sweet potatoes and carefully stir to ensure each slice is covered in the mixture.
Carefully stir in the marshmallows.
Spray a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray. Fill each muffin cup with slices of sweet potato and be sure to spoon the maple nut marshmallow mixture in between the layers.Use a spoon to top each sweet potato stack with the leftover maple nut marshmallow mixture.Sprinkle the tops with pumpkin spice, cinnamon, or cloves depending on the holiday or season.
Bake at 375° F uncovered for 35 minutes then cover with foil to bake for the remaining 10 minutes. When serving, use a fork to get to the very bottom of the stack and gently lift it out of the muffin cup. Then use a spoon to dish out the remaining mixture at the bottom of the muffin cup and drizzle it over the top of the potato stack. Top with a few fresh tiny marshmallows.
