KATHI'S TOASTED MARSHMALLOW CINNAMON CANDIED YAMS
This is a great side dish and so yummy, it could also double as a dessert: the product of an accident gone good, very good.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I borrowed from several candied yam recipes to come up with a quick and easy version. Then I inadvertently skipped a step toward the end - adding the marshmallows & baking along w/all the other ingredients (instead of waiting for the last 10 minutes like most recipes specify).- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - My "mistake" actually made the final product look and taste even better than I had planned! First time I haven't brought yams back home from a family gathering - when I went to gather up my leftovers, they were all gone!- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I'll be adding the marshmallows up front "accidentally, on purpose" from now on. :) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Caution! The baking dish and its contents will still be very hot even after sitting to cool! Enjoy!- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Tip: when removing from oven, if you can see unmelted candies or brown sugar on the sides or bottom of your baking dish, or would prefer a thicker syrup, leave in oven for the longer time; and/or after removing from oven, transfer baking dish only to the microwave and cook on high for 30-60 seconds at a time until desired melting/thickness of syrup.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Drain the syrup from the cans of yams and add the yams to a 2 quart (approximately 8x8) oven-safe glass or stoneware baking dish.
- Cut the butter into 6 or more pats and distribute as evenly as possible atop the dish of yams.
- Combine the optional spices and sprinkle evenly over the yams, if desired (adds an aroma/flavor reminiscent of pumpkin pie).
- If using unsalted butter, take just a dash of salt between your fingers and rub them together to sprinkle evenly over the yams, if desired.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over all the yams and butter pats.
- Sprinkle the red hot cinnamon candies evenly over the yams, butter and brown sugar layers.
- Add one layer of miniature marshmallows over the top of the yams, butter, and brown sugar layers. (I used most of a 10 oz bag - you may be able to use the whole bag depending on the size/depth of your baking dish).
- Transfer the baking dish to a cookie sheet, jelly roll pan or shallow roasting pan to prevent any spills of sticky residue from ending up on the inside bottom of your oven and/or caked to your oven racks.
- Bake at 350°F for a total of 30-40 minutes.
- After 5-15 minutes, check on the marshmallows - they should be browning and will smell toasty.
- Once satisfied with the level of marshmallow browning, make a tin foil tent and place over the baking dish, careful not to touch or lay the tin foil on the marshmallows.
- Continue to bake for the remaining time or until desired doneness.
- Remove from oven and let set to cool for 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- Drain yams and pineapple (save the pineapple juice).
- In a pot, add pineapple juice, sugar, and '10' marshmallows.
- Put yams in a 9x13-inch casserole dish and pour mixture over top.
- Top with pineapple chunks.
- Put into a 300°F oven for 40 minutes.
- Top with remaining marshmallows (or amount you prefer).
- Put casserole back into oven for 10 minutes to soften and slightly melt marshmallows.
- Watch closely because marshmallows puff up quickly and may burn.
Tips:
- Select yams that are firm and have smooth skin. Avoid yams with blemishes or soft spots.
- To peel yams easily, score the skin lengthwise and boil them for a few minutes. The skin will then slip off easily.
- If you don't have marshmallows, you can substitute them with other sweet ingredients like brown sugar, maple syrup, or honey.
- To make the yams even more flavorful, add spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger.
- If you are short on time, you can bake the yams in the microwave instead of the oven.
Conclusion:
Marshmallow yams are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. With their sweet and fluffy marshmallow topping, these yams are sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new way to enjoy yams, give this recipe a try.
