Hey all!
We are going to SIL's for Thanksgiving and she wants me to bring Candied sweet potatoes. She is 8 yrs out and I'm 5 weeks out. Anyone have a recipe?

I found this on Recipezaar. I plan to try it soon. Thanks for the idea. Christine (internetnut)

Candied Sweet Potatoes

Recipe #220769 | 45 min | 15 min prep | add private note

 

These are a staple at our holiday meals. These are figure friendly and no one knows it! Since Splenda is used diabetics can enjoy also. Some measurements (water, vanilla, Splenda are approximate since I cook by taste).

Let us know how this recipe is if you try it soon. Thanks christine (internetnut)

Bariatriceating has a good sweet potato recipe that uses S/F caramel syrup.  Since I didn't have the syrup and I had S/F Caramel Ice Cream topping I used that and it tasted wonderful.  You  might try something like this.
