This is a side dish I’ve made for years for Thanksgiving and most any other time I’ve had sweet potatoes.
The original recipe calls for corn flakes, but I decided to jazz it up AND add some fibre to the dish by substituting Post Honey Bunches of Oats for the cornflakes.

Praline Sweet Potato Crunch with Post Honey Bunches of Oats |
Post Honey Bunches of Oats not only contains essential whole grains, but is sweetened with honey and that eliminates half of the regular sugar that was originally in the topping and I just like the idea of honey instead of processed sugar!
