Cook peas on stovetop according to package directions. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the broth. Transfer peas to greased 2 quart casserole. Mix brown sugar, butter, and reserved broth in small bowl. Pour brown sugar sauce over peas. Cover & bake at 325 degrees for 30 minutes. Remove cover & bake for 15 minutes longer.

I made these yesterday & my 4 year old loved them--she said, "They taste like butter beans, but with a candy taste to them", which is a pretty accurate description of the flavor. I think they would make an excellent side for a Christmas ham.
