    I make this frequently. My scaled down version (half the butter and sugar in the sweet potatoes) is still over 300 calories per serving. BUT... this is an incredibly delicious recipe! :happy:

    Cooked this yesterday, it came out really really sweet. But, it came out well. Next time I'll probably cut down on the sugar, but it was still awesome!

    We have made this a few times, and it was AMAZING! Absolutely positively worth the calories....

    But i only eat it as a side dish, so that I can justify having half of a serving. It is absolutely divine, and I could eat the whole pan otherwise!

    I made this for Thanksgiving and it was fantastic! Thank you so much! I did use half the sugar in the sweet potato mixture and it was still really sweet.

    Good to know.. I've found I can usually cut back the sugar a lot in most recipes and it doesn't effect the taste very much!
