These were so good! I used a little less sugar than the recipe called for and they were still plenty sweet.

These were soooooo good! I made them for Thanksgiving and everyone loved them. They were the perfect side dish - sweet, but not too sweet, and they had a great texture. I will definitely be making these again.
