I was randomly looking for a "different" way to fix my yams, you know, other than the traditional way. I saw this recipe and was excited to try it. It was simple and it turned out wonderful. I will continue to use this recipe in the future.(I added nutmeg and cinnamon to mash and I sprinkled cinnamon over the topping)

I made this for Thanksgiving this year. Something different than the usual candid yams. They were loved by all and they were gone!!! When I put the topping on I drizzled some caramel over the top too. I just thought why not it's already sweet, just added a lil extra! Mmmm I am making them for Christmas now too! Hehe YUM!

This recipe was absolutely amazing. I made these for thanksgiving dinner, and the family couldn't stop talking about how great they were. I don't know whose granny came up with this, but god bless her soul.
