Pioneer Woman's Sweet Potatoes
Oh, heaven on a spoon! I do add cinnamon to mine and a touch of orange juice.
How much weight do YOU plan on gaining at Thanksgiving? Me? I refuse to get on the scale for two weeks after.

The Great Baking Chocolate Debate
How about the powdered cocoa debate? Dutch processed or regular?
I say Dutch!
Thanks for figuring this all out for us, Ree! Brownies are one of those foods that people definitely take seriously. Although, how did you ever make it through baking 3 pans of them and NOT eat them all yourself?

The Great Baking Chocolate Debate
Ree, you absolutely make my day! i enjoy your blogs, and love your recipes; i will have to send you my "best cake brownies" recipe...they have an entire can of 16 oz hershey's chocolate syrup in them....mmmmm.
one of the things i love most about you...your love for that marlboro man and your kiddos...so refreshing!
The Great Baking Chocolate Debate
I love, love, love Guittard chocolate for baking, especially their semi-sweet. If ya wanna get all fancy order their semi sweet, milk and bittersweet and experiment with mixing them. Sooo good! It is slightly less expensive than SB ($12 per lb) and the flavor in my opinion is superior.

I love these...my mother made this exact recipe when I was growing up, and now I do it every year for Thanksgiving...I just melt the butter for the topping though...so yummy!!!

i'm making this recipe right now... have to say i must have done something wrong because it is taking waaaaay longer for the potatoes to be tender. i've upped the oven to 400 and wrapped the baking dishes they're roasting in with foil. maybe i was supposed to do that anyway! the kitchen sure smells good and i can't wait for the finished product.

Mmmmmm... I'm sitting here right now with a plate full of food, and these sweet potatoes are a wonderful addition to tonight's dinner! I don't usually care for them, but this recipe is absolutely delicious. Thanks for taking the time to add the photos and all. They were really helpful.

this sounds so good! but i'm addicted to my eggnog sweet potatos. my family adores them. i roast potatoes, mix in a cup of eggnog, a swig of bourbon and some allspice. they are SO good! i may try making some with these yummy nutty topping this year! thanks ree!

I make this recipe every year and my family would hurt me if I didn't. It was originally published in Jill Conner Browne's "God Save the Sweet Potato Queens" on page 217. She says that she sometimes adds coconut to the topping as well.

This recipe was passed along to my mother from a family friend (Margaret) and has become a regular part of the Thanksgiving repertoire at our house. The one thing that is ever so slightly different is that Margaret's recipe uses self-rising flour. It makes the topping puff just ever so slightly, which makes the texture of the topping just slightly crispy, and more consistent throughout, but also makes that crispy topping melt in your mouth the second it hits your tongue.
And yes, in the South, this is very much a "side dish"! Just because it has (a LOT) of sugar does not mean that it has to be a dessert and can't appear on a plate along side the turkey.

I make a very similar dish named after a lady from Alabama, Betty Haney.
In her/our version you boil and mash the sweet potatoes. In the best ones I've made the topping melted to a praline consistency. Her final touch was to put pecan halves all the way around the edge of the caserole which are added in the last twenty minutes or so. Thank you Betty!
