A Baker's Field Guide to Holiday Candy & Confections: Sweet Treats All Year Long (Baker's Field Guide)

Celebrate the holidays (or any day!) with this "well-illustrated, carefully written compilation of candy recipes that aims straight for sweet-tooth heaven" (Baltimore Sun).

Give your Valentine a special sweet, like Chocolate Hazelnut Italian Kisses, or scare up some frightfully delicious delights for Halloween, such as Spider Webs and Easy Marbled Candy Corn Bark. Featuring full-color photographs for each recipe, this cookbook's fun field-guide format provides quick reference to each type of candy and confection "species" —including its Habitat (country of origin), Field Notes (helpful information), and Lifespan (how long it will keep). You'll find classic candies, new twists on old favorites, and utterly original creations in this newest, sweetest offering in the Baker's Field Guide Series from PBS cooking-show host Dede Wilson.

"Organized by major and minor holidays (with a scattered ringer like National Licorice Day), each recipe is well positioned for the novice or experienced baker." —Booklist
