CROCK POT : Orange-Spiced Sweet Potatoes image

My oven was so full of other prepared dishes being baked that I thougt I would make my sweet potatoes in a crock pot and they truned out so good. I made two pots; one without the nuts and added large marshmellows on top towards the end of cooking just for the little ones at the table. They love them.

This is a great recipe, but I would recommend using a little less sugar. The sweet potatoes were a bit too sweet for my taste.

I'm not sure why, but my sweet potatoes didn't turn out as soft as I would have liked. Maybe I didn't cook them for long enough.

This is a great recipe for busy weeknights. I can just throw the ingredients in the crock pot in the morning and dinner is ready when I get home.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes. I always have a few leftover after Thanksgiving and this is a great way to use them up.

I found that the sweet potatoes took a little longer to cook than the recipe stated. I had to cook them for an extra 30 minutes.
