A holiday classic that's easy to make and delicious year-round. You can boil the sweet potatoes if you wish, but baking them really brings out their flavor and gives them a caramel-like sweetness!
Here are some comments from the Kid Kritics Taste Test, "At first I liked it pretty good, then very good so much my tongue was excited! ... Felt like my stomach was filled with joy! ... If I was made of it, I would eat myself! ... Tastes so good. My belly loved it - oh, so good!"
