[Fitange]

Omg these look deli-ci-lifilous! Lord

[Imsoserious]

Question: Could we add marshmallows in the maple mixture, or add them at the second time in the oven? Would you recommend marshmallows at all, or will that make these yams TOO sweet?

[VoluptuousLocks]

Is that maple extract

[lauraballest]

I actually tried your recipe for Christmas. They were so delicious my family loved them. Thanks!!!

[SuperRainbowQueen]

@divascancook

I stumbled upon ur videos the other night and fell in love. Your recipes are all very creative and southern and I love that. Plus u always keep me smiling with ur spunky/goofy personality. Hope u enjoy this Holliday season girl!

[cmmrris1]

@Terry91745

If u weren't busy being such a douche you would have noticed that she told us a 2:30 in the video that she set her oven on 350. Chill out or make ur own damn yams recipe

[divascancook]

@cmmrris1 LOLLLL@"make ur own damn yams"  I'm sorry but that was funny.

[beautifullytransform]

@cmmrris1 O wow ppl r a trip.... But u must excuse him he said slow yo mouth.... No speed up ur brain.... poor baby

[tangela58]

I love her voice she makes her videos interesting.

[tcvejones]

I made this about two days ago. It is now a staple along with anything I've tried from you so far!

[psyconautica]

is this served as a dessert or as a side dish?

[ileorin]

@psyconautica lol, despite the sugar, it's a side dish.

[shawaniea]

@psyconautica SIDE :D

[idunnoproductionzz]

@terry91745 Don't be so rude. -_- and its all on her website which tells you all the ingredients so you have to look at it anyway.

[rrtj7777]

Diva, I applaud you for this recipe! Everyone loved the candied yams! Thank you.

[terry91745]

Can you slow you mouth for a second and tell everyone what temp the oven should be set??????

You think that might be good to know?

[CaramelPrincesa]

@terry91745 Why don't you try printing the recipe from her blog as she suggested?? Why be so rude when everyone knows that there is limited time for recording these wonderful videos. She's doing us a HUGE favor by just sharing your wonderfully, delicious recipes.

[miabee1]

OMG the yams were a hit on Thanksgiving..and I made the apple crisp..lets just say hubby and I tore that pan Up...thanx :)

[jhamilia3]

Omg.....I made these yams yesterday and they were delicious. It was my first time making them and eating them. The ones in the can also looked nasty to me so I never ate them. I love how the candied mixture thickening up. Thanks monique and keep them coming.

[mother181able]

Alrite hun....Im a Southern Gurrl and yes I did make these KANDI YAMS TODAY AND THEY WERE A BIGGGG HIT!!!THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO AND HOPEFULLY I can send you a pic soon...Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving.

[ivettesedano]

im cooking these right now. but i realize i dont have the whipping cream. does it make a big difference?'

[TAMIKAW2000]

I made your Yams this morning and they are a hit today for thanksgiving dinner. Adding the vanilla really gave them a nice taste! I'm trying your grandmothers Poundcake at Christmas.

[rlsldr2]

Your posts have been such a blessing to me! This is my first Thanksgiving that I'm cooking dinner for my whole family. I just want to say thank you for sharing your gift of cooking! Happy Thanksgiving and be blessed!

[916nando]

[ShelleyG1014]

Oh yes I am making these tonight

[nubianqueen04]

Awesome! Now, if only I had seen this video before I went to the store....I'll have to wait and make them after Thanksgiving! WooHoo!

[juicykiwi1]

[msoutlaw2]

[TheLovelyLadyE]

[ShaunieceCooks]

[Msbabeej77]

Would i mess up this receipe if i add marshmallows to it, and with the sweet potatoe casserole can you add marshmallows as well, i got to have me some marshmallows. What kind of camera is this gorgeous video quality

[canes305fan]

Yummy !!!

[darkdonatellah7]

That looks soooooo goooooood!! You have done it again girl!!!

[EVITACATLIN]

yes that how we do it in the south bama style!!!

[CaliRed121]

Okay so as long as i've eaten these and as many times as i've made them - i had NO idea WHY they were called "candied" yams. I just thought that was a name. LOL!!! Until you said "they don't called it candied yams for nothing" I'ma need my mama'nem to tell me these things before they just have me in the kitchen cooking. *chuckle*

[Whokikiwit]

I see Two people dislike soulful YAMS!!! Can't wait to make them

[ileorin]

for those that are confused this yam is the same thing as the red sweet potato. It's not the same as what Africans, Caribbean or Asians call yam.

[pinkmagnolia7]

@ileorin thank you! i was a little confused because the "yam" looks exactly like a sweet potato. O.o

Now everything is clear.^^

[TheVittleVlog]

These look really tasty!!

[MissCherieD]

[truemusician1]

[seygra20]

That looks like sweet potato not yam.? Yam is brown and have a white texture.

[SOULQ27]

Can I use light brown sugar instead of the white cane sugar?? Would the consistency stay the same??

[123sherylin]

@SOULQ27

yes you can... brown sugar, whether light or dark, is white sugar with molasses... or you can do 1/2 and 1/2

[kimmy1984]

WOW they look DELICIOUS!!!!!!

[cookwithadam]

The yams look wonderful! :)

[Heavensazn062090]

[carol9170]

yum. will try this recipe.

[kareemtiheed]

I want to make these for a potluck but the lady at my job doesnt have many teeth. She complains about anything hard in texture.So should cook them longer so they can get softer?

[ConnectedToMeNow]

I candy my Yams in a Pot boiling them in the sugar/butter/cinnamon/nutmeg/v­anilla mixture. I'm gonna try that whipping cream part like You did...

[naturalgirl75]

I love your video, I have a question do you know how to make a strawberry pie in a graham cracker crust? I have been looking for this recipe but no one knows how to make it :(

[Chanel8791]

Looks really good. I'm definitely give this a try.

[JayDetroiter]

Thank you so much

[xxxMzDivaxxx]

quick and easy like i like it

[damedash71]

Mmm I love me some Candie Yams & those look so good :) My mom said you better pay attention so you can learn how to make it lol .

[mstrice02]

I know dats right candied yams not canned yams..Thanks so much for the recipe...although I dont have mexican extract whats another alternative?

[123sherylin]

@mstrice02

regular vanilla

[TheKitchenWitch1]

You are so fabulous! We don't eat enough sweet potatoes and yams in Canada. I am putting it on my list of must tries for the holidays. YUMM!

[unicqueky]

Does it thicken overtime? Could I add cornstarch if the syrup is too thin?

[divascancook]

@unicqueky it thickens a little as it sits. If you want it thicker then yep you can add a little cornstarch. Sometimes I'll broil it for the last few minutes and it will make the syrup thicker and stickier and crisp up the edges of the sweet potatoes.

[123sherylin]

@divascancook

i do this to mine too... yummmmeeeee!

[Diva63113]

Not only do these look good, but it is also one of the easiest way to cook candied yams I have found. Can't wait to try this.

Jeanie

[nmart512]
