For a deeper caramel flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar. If the sauce becomes too thick during cooking, add a tablespoon of water at a time until desired consistency is reached. These candied sweet potatoes are delicious served with a sprinkle of toasted pecans or walnuts for added texture.
