There is a little bit of “Southerner” in all of us! You don’t have to be from the South to embrace the food—especially the sweets. These decadent, sweet delights are filled with lots of sugar, butter, nuts, and fruit, or dripping with chocolate, caramel, whipped cream, and bourbon. With 100 tempting recipes, Southern Sugar will transport you back to your “Southern” roots with beloved favorites and fresh takes on Southern classics, ranging from afternoon Tea Cakes and Triple Chocolate Chip Cookies to “can’t push back from the table” Coconut Sweet Potato Pie and Mississippi Mud Cake.
According to the publisher, there’s also a bonus chapter with sweet drinks and cocktails.
