After anything pumpkin, my all time favorite fall food is sweet potatoes. I love any type of sweet potato but this candied version is at the top of my list. My Grandma made these every Thanksgiving while I was growing up and 9 years ago she passed the recipe onto me. I love a good sweet potato casserole with marshmallows or almonds on top but for some reason these are just so much better to me. They are time consuming but oh so worth it.
