This is how my nana made these, how mom made these,and how I make these :) The brown sugar is so sweet and with the butter - hmm yummy!!!! You need no other spices. This year we did not use the marshmallows and its just as good. Wanted to post a picture but they are all gone, so maybe I'll make them this weekend and snap one then. Thanks for posting this recipe it is a classic indeed.

I made these for Thanksgiving dinner yesterday - they tasted just like the ones my mom and grandma used to make. The only changes I made was to use canned sweet potatoes that I drained and rinsed, and I didn't put the marshmallows on until the last 10 minutes of cooking - instead of melting completely they kind of puffed up and browned a bit. This recipe was easy to make and tasted great. Thanks for posting.
