Excellent! Very rich and rewarding. However, along from the other reviewers suggestions, I must stress DO NOT USE BUTTER. You will wind up pouring it off, its not needed at all except to butter the dish. Also, a tip, if you travel with this dish, dont add the marshamllows until you get to your destination and throw it into the oven to warm it up. I baked mine in the morning and let the dish completely cool before traveling and the marshmallows still melted, so we didnt have a yummy gooey topping for mine. Dont do them until RIGHT before serving.

This is the best yam recipe ever!!! I used canned yams, so there was no problem with undercooking them. I believe I used all the butter, but you don't really need to, it would be fine with less or none at all. I made these to take to Thanksgiving dinner last year, and have been asked to make them again this year. (High praise- this was for my in-laws, they are a tough crowd.) I did one pan with marshmallows, and one without. I like them better without. I used the thick caramel dip for apples (Marzetti's or something like that?) and it was easy and heavenly. I made more for myself afterwards and ate them like dessert. Thanks you for these yams o' goodness! One of my favorite recipes ever.

When I found this recipe on here I was really excited because I love caramel and I knew this would be wonderful. I made this recipe last year and everyone loved it. I am making them again this year, but this time I am going to try mashing them. Not sure which is best, but I suppose it's just a matter of preference. I will not ever use another recipe for sweet potatoes or yams ever again!

I used canned yams and only half the butter. My family loved them and asked that I always make this for Thanksgiving dinner.

This was so easy to make. I had 14 people for Thanksgiving, everyone from adults to children just loved it. I would however suggest the following changes. I fully cook fresh yams and then mash them adding the rest of the indredients and briefly putting them under the broiler until the marshmellows are lightly browned. I will make this on every holiday thanks!

These instructions seriously stink. I have never used allrecipes.com before, so I didn't know to check the review before making them. I used fresh yams instead of canned. I think this is a pretty important element to include in the instructions.

These are the best, absolutely yummy, the only yams I have found that I like. I doubled the recipe and people were fighting to lick the dish. Next time, I will quadruple the recipe and hope I can get seconds.

Very good - I have made this recipe 3 times, and each time there seems to be a bit much 'sauce' but still super tasty and easy! My fiance who has never cooked more than a grilled cheese sandwich has actually made this all by himself.

I made these for my husband on Thanksgiving. He loved them. I used the canned yams instead of fresh, and this dish was ready in a snap--which is really great for those of us stuck in the kitchen on Thanksgiving day. ;)

I give these four stars for taste and one for the directions. Having never made candied yams before, I didn't know what is apparently obvious to the pro-this recipe calls for CANNED sweet potatoes. I naively chopped fresh sweet potatoes and THREE HOURS (not 30 minutes) later, they were delicious! Please, avoid my frustration. If you are not a yam-making pro, remember, either cook the potatoes first, or use canned.

Okay, this recipe has potential it is divine but it needs MAJOR re-writing. First off, get a bigger dish 9x9 doesnt even have to be square.Use cooked yams or canned yams (drained) and increase the 4 cups to about 6 or 7. Mash them...not chop. Leave out the butter (unless greasing the sides of your dish to keep the marshmallows from sticking. Double the amount of marshmallows and Broil them under a guarded eye for a heavenly browning. Do this and the dish will be the best thing you ever tasted. If not then you will get a big bowl of uncooked potatoes swimming in grease.

Rave reviews from the sweet potato eaters at Thanksgiving. Definitely drain canned potatoes. I used half the caramel & only @ 3T butter! Thanks for the recipe Sara!
