KATHI'S TOASTED MARSHMALLOW CINNAMON CANDIED YAMS

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.
