If you think the exterior at this adorable pie shop is delicious, wait until you get a taste of the actual food! Located in Custer, the Purple Pie Place is a tried and true SoDak fave, thanks to such unique pie flavors as peanut butter and raspberry rhubarb jalapeno.

For even more Parisian delights, you will want to head to Vermillion, as their unbeatable Cafe Brule boasts a menu of vanilla champagne cake, Crème Brulé, tortes, and lemon curd bars. (Do you want to sink your teeth into this picture? Those beauties are chocolate and vanilla champagne cake balls.)

Who stole a cookie from the cookie jar? We stole a cookie from the cookie jar (and we regret nothing, thanks to flavors like ginger cream, monster, and chocolate chunk)! In addition to the cookies themselves, the Cookie Jar also makes yummy PB Blast, Caramel Thunder, and Special K bars.
