3. Add Kahlua: Once the butter and sugar are melted and combined, add in the Kahlua. The Kahlua adds a depth of flavor with its coffee liqueur essence, enhancing the sweetness of the dish.

4. Cook Kahlua Mixture: Allow the Kahlua to cook with the butter and sugar for about 1 minute. This brief cooking time allows the alcohol to cook off while infusing its flavor into the sauce.

5. Incorporate Yams: Add the yam pieces to the skillet, ensuring they are coated evenly with the Kahlua mixture. Turning them occasionally will help to brown all sides evenly.

6. Cover and Cook: Once the yams are coated and evenly distributed in the skillet, cover with a lid to trap the steam and heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and allow the yams to cook for approximately 15 minutes.

7. Final Touch: Before serving, give the yams one final turn in the skillet to ensure they are coated in the luscious Kahlua glaze.

Serve these decadent Kahlua Candied Yams alongside your favorite holiday mains like turkey or ham, and watch as they become the star of the meal. With their caramelized sweetness and hint of Kahlua flavor, they’re sure to impress even the most discerning palates.
