If you are ready for some yams that appeal to the adult palate that the children will enjoy as well, then this recipe is for you. My aunt has made Praline Yams every year at Thanksgiving and Christmas since I was in 5th grade. I have always looked forward to eating her yams because they were sweet, yet they had no marshmallows. I've never had yams like hers anywhere else. I finally asked her for the recipe last year and found out that it is right on the can of Princella Cut Yams. Who knew!

If, however, you must make Candied Yams with marshmallows on top, I leave you with one warning. Do not leave the oven unattended. One evening, my mom was making candied yams to go with dinner and suddenly there were flames shooting out of the oven. She had forgotten about the yams and the marshmallows caught on fire. My dad grabbed the fire extinguisher and put the fire out. Needless to say, we had no candied yams that night, but we did have a large mess to clean up.

See you next week with more recipes for your Thanksgiving dinner.
