Sweet chocolate and almond taralli
What's better than a sweet tarallino to turn around a gray and perhaps a little boring day? In the Land of Puglia we are firmly convinced that a tarallino can really bring a smile to everyone's mouth. The ones we present here perhaps more than the others, given the presence of excellent chocolate flakes, which is notoriously known for being able to lift the mood of anyone who tastes it. And if the fact that chocolate is a famous antidepressant isn't enough for you, below we give you some other reasons to try these sweet chocolate and almond taralli.
Healthy and safe raw materials, for an ideal dessert for the whole family
Another point in favor of these delicious Apulian sweet taralli is certainly that of the raw materials. As always, even when it comes to savory products, vegetables, fresh pasta and everything you find here in the La Terra di Puglia catalogue, the starting point is a top raw material. Therefore, local raw materials, if possible at zero km (or even less!), selected and combined together with great skill and good taste.
In these sweet taralli with chocolate and almonds the tried and tested love marriage between chocolate and almonds is more present than ever. The chocolate, as mentioned, is the good, homemade chocolate, in flakes suitably grated for the occasion. The almonds are the Apulian ones, good, very sweet, peeled one by one and lovingly accompanied by the best pastry chefs that La Terra di Puglia has on its staff to be part of the dough of these extraordinary tarallini.
The result is a real treat capable of cheering up and - who knows - consoling the palate even in the most tiring moments of our days. Or to reward ourselves if we think we deserve a little sweet break. Try them with coffee: it will truly be a riot of classic and well-calibrated aromas, ready to pamper even the most demanding palate in the right way.
Apulian sweet taralli are a traditional delight of the Puglia region, known for their crunchiness and delicate flavour. Also known as taralli with sugar, these sweets are a perfect combination of simplicity and goodness, often appreciated throughout Italy.
