My Mom's easy Candied Yams...Peel and quarter oblong potatoes, cover with water and par boil, only long enough to stick a fork in them. Empty water and place potatoes in oven oblong pan.... add a stick of butter and 2 cups of sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg...bake in oven for an hour or so or until sugar has been reduced to a thick syrup.
 
If you like dark chocolate, here's a super easy no bake recipe, I make them all the time:

Dark Chocolate Yummies

1/2 package of unsweetened Bakers Chocolate (2 oz. chocolate)
1 heaping tablespoon peanut butter
1/4 cup Lakanta Monk Fruit sweetener (or sugar)
1/3 cup Rice Krispies (or rice Chex) cereal

Optional ingredients:
1 heaping tablespoon unsweetened coconut (optional)
1 heaping tablespoon dried cranberries (optional)
1 tablespoon almond meal

In a smaller bowl, cut up the chocolate and melt it with the peanut butter in the
microwave for just a minute or so.
Stir in remaining ingredients and drop small spoonfuls on foil covered plate - freeze for 15 minutes.
Store in zip lock bag in fridge. Makes 24 pieces.
 
These are a favorite in my family:

Citrus Balls

1 box finely crushed Nilla Wafers
1 stick salted butter
1 small can frozen concentrated orange juice
1 box powdered sugar.
8 oz flaked coconut

Cream sugar, butter & juice (undiluted) til smooth.
Add crushed wafers
Mix well

Chill 30 minutes and roll into small balls
Roll balls in coconut.

I've never tried, but I bet these could also be made with frozen concentrated lemonade.

Keep chilled. These can be frozen.

It's a pretty intense flavor but they'll make your mouth stand up and salute!
 
I'm pretty limited as to what I can eat but my year round treat is a Nut Thin (Pecan) with almond butter and 3 dark chocolate chips on top. About 33 calories each, no gluten & very little sugar.
