Yummy Candied Yams/Sweet Potato Casserole With Marshmallows image

Here's our family favorite sweet taters, perfected over the years. Sooo yummy! No Thanksgiving Feast is complete without these on the table. Enjoy. :) Note: Glaze will thicken as it cools, and even more when refrigerated. I like to make this casserole in advance for this reason.
