It is rather difficult to not like dessert – especially since there are nearly as many desserts as there are palates! Dessert is one of those things that brings happiness, memories, satisfaction – and yes, occasionally guilt! Some people prefer the sweet, rich taste of chocolate, while others are geared more towards fruity desserts. Some people like cakes and pies while others like cookies or scones. There are folks that prefer their dessert cold (like frozen custard!) and still more folks who might prefer their sweets hot (think hot chocolate or a sweetened coffee drink). Then there are people – especially kids! – whose favorite treat might be candy like jelly beans or lollipops. Whatever type of sweet tooth you have, you are sure to be able to satisfy your craving with some great Branson dessert options!
