    I thought yams are supposed to be healthy? All this sugar and butter seems kinda excessive. I don’t think I will make this.

      I’m glad everyone loved it! Candied yams always bring everyone together during the holidays. Just a tip, next time try adding some pecans on top for extra crunch!

      I don’t get why everyone loves yams so much. They’re sweet but kinda mushy, right? I mean, how can you be so sure this was the best dish? 🤔
