New England Has a Sweet Tooth
New England’s love affair with sweets began in the 1700s when a chocolate mill opened just outside Boston. Since then, the region has been home to an extraordinary array of baked, fried, dipped, sugared, and frozen treats. New England Has a Sweet Tooth unwraps the stories behind New England’s sugary legacy from Necco Wafers to Fluffernutters. Host Susan Mara Bregman is the author of New England Sweets: Doughnuts, Bonbons, and Whoopie Pies.
