Random comment, but he is not lyin’ about the butter. I found a women in my area (Chattanooga) that churns her own butter. MAN!! It is soooo good. No batch is exactly the same as the next. I usually stock up when she makes it available and keep in the freezer. Thank you - can’t wait to test run this recipe before the big day! ❤
I made them twice! These bad boys are a hit! Trust the process, y’all. These yams are delicious! I used Cara Cara oranges on accident, and they took my yams to the next level! Shout out to Mr. Make it Happen for making recipes with simplicity and deliciousness!
My favorite is the dressing and the desserts. You’re doing a fantastic job of converting me to like candied yams! Thank you for being such a great entertainer. I enjoy watching your show very much.
My mother made sweet potatoes stove top minus, all those extracts and they were delicious. Yours did look delicious. My favorite sides were the Mac and cheese, dressing.
Candied Yams is my favorite side dish. My combo half plate ham, yams, baked mac and cheese, and other half turkey. dressing lil rice if there is some, this half topped with gravy, then my potatoe salad and collard greens in between so both sides can get a lil of both😋
Thank you for this recipe! I didn’t have the maple syrup flavoring but I had maple syrup so I added a bit of that. I don’t have the butter flavoring so I left it out. I put everything else into these candy that you mention and they came out delicious. Thank you for this recipe! You saved Thanksgiving!
I making these this morning and was skeptical about the orange but tried and tasted the sauce and it was amazing. Can’t wait for the family to try. Oh, added just a little spiced rum.🙌🏾 (check-in) Whole family loved them!!🙌🏾
I'm so glad you showed the right way to do candied yams. When you slice the yams and put them in the oven the syrup is too watery compared to being on the stove. You killed it as usual!!!
Sweet potato souffle! The pecans on top just can't be beat! I'm definitely gonna try your candied yams! Ty😊 Dressing for us southerners...no stuffing! Giblets gravy, green beans and a side of mashed potatoes!
Oook!! Sooo I couldn’t wait until the Holidays to make this 🤭 Literally eating this as I type my comment and it’s soooo freakin’ good!! Pleasantly surprised by the orange 🍊 flavor profile 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Lisssen if Matt says add it, I add it LOL Thanks for another yummy recipe 🤤🤤
Definitely gonna try this recipe. I like the whipped casserole style sweet potato and the family likes them sliced. So, I’ll make them happy this year. My thanksgiving menu is ham, dressing, sweet potatoes, broccoli rice cheese casserole, corn casserole, Mac & cheese, chicken & dumplings (like my grandma always made) we use the dumpling broth as our giblet gravy, rolls, pecan pie, pumpkin pie. Oh, sweet tea because we’re in the south! Happy Thanksgiving!🍁
Matt, the cooking gangsta...I enjoy tuning into ur channel because you make my life easier in the kitchen, especially, for Thanksgiving (my favorite HOL)! I hope you come up with a Leftovers sandwich; would like to see what your proportions, condiments and seasonings would be. I wish you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas and Hsppy New Year to come - GOD BLESS!
Hey Matt. Sweet potatoes looks good!! I didn't know that there was a butter and maple extract. I'm not big on sweet potatoes. My favorite combo is turkey wings, greens and potatoe salad.
I woulda eased up on the ginger and added it more gradually because a pinch of that stuff goes a long way. Aside from that, maybe I'd add about a teaspoon of sea salt to balance out all the sugars.. Looks really good !! My favorite TG side is baked Mac and cheese.🙌🏽
I don't know who said candy yams and not sweet potatoes they both taste the same so what's the difference from what I can see he did a good job and I will follow him
If it’s not cooked on the stove top, it probably not the best. I’ve never had greatest candied yams baked in an oven. But I’m gonna watch and see. I like mine sweet and buttery 😂
I agree with you. I did see someone cook them half way on the stove top then put them in the oven. Idk if that helped but normally make mines on the stovetop.
My favorites are candied yams, mac and cheese and greens. You get the sweet, fat/salty and acid all in one bite. Even better if you have cornbread to mix in the greens.
Chef Mr. Make it Happen gives all high praise to Collard Greens 🥬 and Candies Yams 🍠 and Macaroni Cheese 🧀 and especially Homemade Cornbread dressing and don’t forget Black Eyed Peas 🫛 with ham hocks or turkey leg in it Amen 🙏🏾 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂❤
Oh my God I love ❤️ Homemade Candied Yams 🍠 Amen 🙏🏾. Thank You Chef 👩🍳 Mr. Make It Happen I you for making my day making Candied Yams 🍠 Amen 🙏🏾 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You make it look so easy. Minds come out too sweet or not sweet enough. Lol My favorite sides are collard greens and dressing. If there are no greens. I'm pissed..😂😂 I
candied yams, pretzel stuffing, turkey with lots of gravy, and a texas roll is my favorite combo. I do my candied yams way different so I think I will try your way this year.
Its funny. But im not a sweet potato or yam woman. But i love the smell of them. Enjoy!!! 🐞😋 The sweet potato casserole. I like tho. As long as its not stringy..

My hubby made me some butter earlier this year…I almost cried😂😂😂

My own cornbread dressing, mac and cheese, and greens
I tried this recipe last Sunday 11/10/2024; with much less cinnamon, but, it was 🔥🔥🔥They were delicious! That orange and ginger is a game-changer!😋
Your recipe from 3 years is STILL my go to. Using the orange as the citrus is something different. It’s soooo fu*club good !!
Instead of an orange, I juice one lemon. Trust me, it's still sweet...but something about how that lemon plays off the sweetness of it, is KILLER!!!!
I agree, lemon extract was my grandmother’s secret weapon, lemon adds something extra that elevates the flavor beyond just vanilla. 🤤👏🏽
@@michellerenee5666 Those that know, lol.
Another yummy recipe for my turkey day. Favorite side is dressing/stuffing.
Kerrygold butter currently on special at Sam’s Club this month.
Let me head to Sam's lol
My dressing, mac and cheese and greens...is always a hit
I made this using amaretto and it was a hit!!! Will keep this recipe saved. Thank you Matt!
That is how my grandma used to make it. The alcohol makes the flavor so good!

It may sound crazy, but I love yams right next to my potato salad. My favorite is the homemade stuffing with some collard greens.
