Peel and cut sweet potatoes into bite sized pieces. Clean and then dry thoroughly. Add to a 9x11 casserole dish. In a saucepot, make your candied mixture and pour over sweet potatoes. Toss them to ensure they are coated evenly. Cover with foil and place in a 400 degree oven. Total cook time will depend on size of potatoes but should be between 45-60 minutes. Remove foil cover during the last 15-20 minutes. Stir potatoes every 15 minutes to ensure they are cooking evenly. They are done when they are fork tender and fully caramelized
