Notes

To elevate this sweet-meets-savory experience, we’ve paired our Sand Candy Sweet Potato Biscuits with a luscious orange marmalade. The vibrant orange zest and tangy citrus notes of the marmalade provide a refreshing contrast, cutting through the richness of the sweet potatoes and Vidalia® onions. It’s a delightful play of flavors that leaves you craving for each and every bite.
