This was really good, but way too sweet & buttery. I halfed the recipe and 1/2'd the sugar again. I used a little less butter, would use even less next time(there will be a next time). For the topping I only had some raisin bran & frosted flakes, so I used that with 2 TBS. brown sugar and 1/4 cup butter. What a treat :-)

This was really good. Only 4 people were eating dinner that night, and more than half the pan was gone!!! The only thing I would do differently next time is decrease the margarine in the filling. I noticed it was pooling at the bottom of the pan a bit. Other than that it was FANTASTIC!!!! People who don't like sweet potatoes would even love this!

Too sweet, too rich, too many nuts and crunchy things. I cut the recipie down to 1/4, just in case this wasn't very good. I'm glad I did! We both ended up picking at it, and the rest went in the garbage. What a waste of sweet potatoes! I love sweet potatoes, but, this is just too much! If you like classic Thanksgiving candied yams, and mashed brown sugar sweet potatoes, you will not like this! It is far from traditional, and it makes a lot, even if you customize it to 6 servings. We will not be using this again. It's also an incredible waste of time. I now have a whole box of corn flakes that will not be eaten.

This was delicious! It was sweeter and more desert-like than the pumpkin pie that was served!

I omitted the coconut because I thought it might make the texture a bit weird, and substituted some of the white sugar with brown sugar. This turned out absolutely delicious and was a hit with the family. I am no longer allowed to come to Thanksgiving dinner unless I bring this dish :) Thanks for the wonderful recipe!

Great recipe...i used canned yam's instead (toss the syrup and mash the yams) and add all the ingredients as indicated...also I added splenda to taste instead of white sugar. I also added marshmallows to the topping so they get all gooey and brown..DELICIOUS recipe!

I was eager to try something new for family that was visiting from far away for Thanksgiving. I tried this recipe with anticipation and delight. It was a HIT!! It was so delicious that everyone asked for the recipe.Now today half a year later i'm making it again for Easter Sunday. My lips are watering in anticipation!

Great concept, but sweeter than most desserts! I'll make it again, but this time I'll add another sweet potatoe (3 total), then mash with 1/2 of all ingredients! Family loved it, but could only have a bite or two.

What an incredible dish! I excluded the coconut but it still came out wonderfully. It went over as a huge hit at Thanksgiving and Christmas and now everyone wants the recipe. Its so sweet it could also be served as a dessert.

This dish is a miracle. I made this for X-mas dinner thinking only dad and I would eat it, but our table of 7 cleared out half the pan. Even my hubby, who 'hates' sweet potatoes, had two helpings! Brava Diana!

I don't even like sweet potatoes normally, but this recipe was excellent. I only made it because it had coconut in it and I thought that would be interesting and it was.

This was the first time I had ever made a sweet potato casserole. The end result was great! I have to admit that I was confused when making it b/c the recipe says to mash the potatoes and then later says to bake until they are tender. My thought process was that I should boil the potatoes in the beginning in order to mash them but I didn't....I just cubed them. While baking it, it looked like soup and my husband thought I messed something up :) but when I took it out it thickened up like a casserole. Will make again!

This was a real hit! I made it without the marshmallows and substituted Splenda Baking mix for the sugar. My diabeic family members didn't have a problem with it. It was de-lish!
