Many of us use the excuse that our family will be upset if there isn't a ridiculously sweet marshmallow, nut, and brown sugar encrusted pan of sweet potatoes but the truth is this dish is just as satisfying and delicious.

It has all the flavors of the original! Place this dish on the family table and they will all love it. You don't need to explain where the marshmallows and brown sugar have gone because they won't even ask.

The dish stands on its own and goes beautifully with holiday turkey.

The Starbucks Sugar Free Caramel Syrup adds incredible flavor without turning this into a high sugar, high calorie dish.
