    These were so super delicious! So sweet and tasty, my picky two year old thought she was eating candy!! I accidentally omitted the margarine (found it in the microwave after dinner!), but you couldn't even tell. Thanks for the recipe! - 2/17/09

    We loved this recipe! Just enough combination of sweetness to enhance, not overpower, great sweet potatoes. As often as I can, I steam veggies so that's what I did to cook these.

    I was not pleased at all with this. The orange juice overpowered the sweet potatoes and there was nothing sweet about it! - 11/26/09
