Instructions
Open your canned yams and drain out the liquid. Cut any large yams into smaller pieces, if desired. Melt your butter in the microwave in short 20-second increments.
Add all of the ingredients besides the marshmallows to your slow cooker (yams, brown sugar, butter, molasses, cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt). Mix gently.
Cook on high for 1-2 hours or on low for 2-3 hours.
At the end of the cooking time, add the mini marshmallows (if using) and heat for 15 more minutes. Then set the slow cooker to warm (*see note) and serve.
Notes
It's easiest to serve your candied yams from the crockpot. Keep them on the warm setting for up to 2-3 hours. Stir and add water as needed if the syrup is getting too thick or drying out.
