The BEST candied yam recipe EVER!

I am a southern woman, through and through. One of my favorite Thanksgiving recipes is candied yams. I look forward to eating these things all year long. I can honestly say I have a sweet tooth, and these yams truly do taste like candy.

To make them, you only need a few ingredients: butter, brown sugar, and of course, yams. You can even use canned yams if you want to.

First, melt a cup of butter on medium in your saucepan.
Next, add two tightly packed cups of brown sugar. Bring it to a boil.

Then, pour your brown sugar and butter mixture over your yams in a 9×12 baking dish. Bake for 25 minutes at 350 degrees.

Next, eat some delicious candied yams until you feel like you’re going to pop- they’re that good.

I hope you enjoy this recipe! What is your favorite way to cook candied yams?
