This recipe is great! I am trying to do so many other things at once, I don't have time to peel the real potatoes. And everyone eats them up just fine from the can ;) Thanks for the recipe Angela.

Well I don't do the red hots, but girl give me a break with all of us juggling jobs, whats wrong with using canned Yams? We still do real turkey. Thanks Angela, I am guiding my oldest daughter to cook Thanksgiving Dinner for the first time and needed to find the quick way of candied Yams. Little change in recipe, I heat the yams first for 30 minutes, than throw on as many marshmallows as the pan can hold and give it a few more minutes.

This is exactly what I was looking for. A simple recipe that just used the yams out of the can like my mother used to do. Because heaven knows I have a thousand other things to do in the kitchen. Thank you.

I always put vanilla, cinnamon, allspice, cloves etc. I think it would be cool to try redhots and I hate peeling potatoes. I've always used canned yams. I am excited to try it. Thank you.

I always used canned... my grown children prefer them (no clue why). I cook mine just like Judy. I was going to skip it this year, but two of the five adult kids went nuts. Funny how the simplest recipe gets the most votes :-)

I've been making this recipe for a few years now since I first found it online. It's always a HUGE hit. The redhots are the secret ingredient! Making it for two different Thanksgiving gatherings this year. Thanks for the recipe. :)

Thank you for the recipe. I know I'm making homemade mashed potatoes,gravy, turkey, cranberry salad, stuffing, pies, cranberry salad, appetizers... and any cuts I can make is a plus!!! There is only two of us who like yams so this way I can still enjoy them without to much more effort. :)

I'm gonna try this but am cooking a larger portion. Should I just double up on everything in the recipe?

Yes. Double the recipe for double the fun!

Thanks Angie! I was looking for something that sounds yummy for Thanksgiving. I don't know about adding the red hots... I would love it, but I might leave them out. I really want to try it with them though.

This recipe is great! I did it last year but had to use torpedos (shaped like good n' plenty's with just about the same flavor as red hots) instead of red hots..I just couldn't find the red hots..I did this year though and everybody including the kids loved it so much last year they're hoping I'll bring it again this year.

This is great. I was looking for an easy way to do it! This is my first Thanksgiving away from home and where I'll be cooking I have so much already to do I wasn't going to do the yams but my boyfriend wants it so... I'm starting off simple. Maybe when I get a house I'll go big!

Great recipe, except I take the juice from the can and mix in the butter and brown sugar, salt and pepper in a pot and boil it on the stove, then pour the mixture over canned yams.... The juices get really thick and good that way... Then I put marshmallows on top and bake a few minutes more....so they get nice and brown.

I love this recipe! So easy and so delicious. I was trying to find a nice quick way but all the recipes required peeling and cutting. Uh, no. I don't have time for all that. Thank you so much Angela!!!

Dear Angela, I use canned yams, but, being candied yam challenged, usually end up mashing them up. Your recipe is exactly what I needed, now have time to make candied yams along with all the other fixins. This will be a nice surprise and treat for Thanksgiving diner. Will buy two cans, one with red hots (for me) and one without. Thanks Angela Happy Thanksgiving to All

Where was this recipe years ago? You just made my life easier on turkey day... Thank you and happy holidays to all.. P.S. Zeke, mine will have red hots also.. Lol...

Thanks Angie for the quick recipe. My boyfriend is coming home and he wants candied yams. I work and don't have time to cut the potatoes. He will never know the difference!!! Thanks!!
