I'm not a big fan of sweet potatoes, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I'm glad I did! The sweet potatoes were surprisingly delicious and the glaze was perfect. I'll definitely be making these again.

These candied sweet potatoes were a disappointment. The sweet potatoes were undercooked and the glaze was too thick and sticky. I won't be making this recipe again.
