How to Make Kathi's Toasted Marshmallow Cinnamon Candied Yams
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Drain the syrup from two (15 ounce) cans of yams. Add the yams to a 2-quart oven-safe glass or stoneware baking dish.
- Cut 1/2 cup (1 stick) of butter into 6-8 pats and distribute evenly over the yams.
- Combine 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and a pinch of ground cloves (optional). Sprinkle evenly over the yams.
- If using unsalted butter, sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of salt over the yams.
- Evenly sprinkle 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar over the yams and butter.
- Evenly sprinkle 1 cup Red Hots cinnamon candies over the yams, butter, and brown sugar.
- Add one (10 ounce) bag of miniature marshmallows over the yams, butter, and brown sugar layers.
- Transfer the baking dish to a cookie sheet or baking pan to catch any spills.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes. After 5-15 minutes, check the marshmallows; they should be browning and smell toasty.
- Once the marshmallows are sufficiently browned, loosely tent the baking dish with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
- Continue baking until the yams are tender and the marshmallows are golden brown (about 25-30 more minutes).
- Remove from the oven and let stand for 15 minutes. If the syrup is not thick enough or there are unmelted candies, return to the oven for 5-10 more minutes or microwave in 30-second intervals until desired consistency is reached.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
