Candied Yams with Pecans and Marshmallows

A wonderful side dish to add to your holiday meal that can be partially prepared ahead of time.

So what’s in a name anyway?

When deciding on a name for this recipe I went with what I’ve called it for years and what my grandmother called it…”Candied Yams“.

But technically, the “yams” in this recipe are really sweet potatoes.

Somewhere down the line sweet potatoes were called yams and the name stuck.
