Amaretti cookies
This beautiful, rectangular tin was filled with 15 soft amaretti cookies. Festively wrapped in paper twist wrappers and sealed with clear inner-wrappers, were 4 different flavors: Chocolate, Coffee, Raspberry and Chocolate Rum.Tartufi Dolci All' Amaretto Truffles
The second chocolate(s) of the day were Tartufi Dolci (sweet truffles) All' Amaretto—also individually wrapped pieces - in vanilla colored papers. These rectangular chocolate pieces contained pieces of amaretti cookie and almond bits, and were almond flavored.
Sweet Almond 'Sky
And the Italian-American spirit of the day was a tiny shotglass* drink mixed with 1 Tablespoon DiSaronno (Amaretto) and 2 Tablespoons Woodstock After Dark Bourbon + Chocolate. Drink neat. Guaranteed to warm you on a cold evening.
*Almost all of my cocktails and desserts are shot-glass sized. It's a fun challenge to try to pack the most perfectly compatible flavors into one small glass.
