Made with sweet potatoes, brown sugar, butter, and a hint of cinnamon, it's often topped with crunchy pecans or marshmallows for that sugary finish. While the rich sweetness makes it a beloved side at holiday feasts, it's also a great source of vitamins A and C, and dietary fiber. Enjoy Candy Yam as a comforting treat, but remember, moderation is key to balancing its indulgent ingredients with a healthy lifestyle!
