I don’t have a recipe to share today, but I would love to have a candied sweet potatoes recipe that doesn’t include marshmallows. Anyone?
Topping: Combine cup packed light brown sugar, 4 tablespoons cubed sweet butter, 1/2 cup self-rising cake flour, cup chopped pecans.
================================
Same here....I refuse to eat marshmallowy sweet potatoes ....a horrid dish. How about using sweets in a dessert?
