This recipe got a twist when I saw Sweet Maple Walnuts a Dollar General. I made it for our family Thanksgiving, and it was a huge hit! By the way, the nuts are not burnt. They are dark from the maple glaze.
2 ~ 15oz cans sweet potatoes, or yams*
¼ cup butter
¼ cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
1 pinch black pepper, or more to taste
Mini Marshmallows
Sweet Maple Walnuts**
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place potatoes in a large bowl, and add butter, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix, using a stand mixer or hand mixer, until smooth and creamy. Place in an 8x8 casserole dish. Bake in the oven until warmed through, about 15-20 minutes. Top with marshmallows and then walnuts. Bake until marshmallows are toasted, about 5-10 minutes. Watch so they don't burn.
*I also used 2 - 40oz for this 13x9 pan.
