DOLCETTO O SCHERZETTO?  Treat or Trick to be literal in the translation!

I would never trick you, so let’s just instead look at some classic Italian sweets:

The standard Perugina baci or chocolate kiss with a hazelnut inside, wrapped in a multilingual love note. These love notes are written in either Italian, English, French, German, Greek, Spanish, or Portuguese. What a great way to eat chocolate!

Next, another oldie but goodie, the original Kinder Sorpresa, or Child Surprise, a milk chocolate hollow egg which is not specifically made for Easter, with a toy inside. This was my son’s favorite sweet treat growing up:

Next there is my favorite candy, torrone or nougat, a confection, typically made of honey, sugar, and egg white, with toasted almonds, pistachios other nuts.  I love the pistachio torrone:

And then last but not least–and absolutely no trick–is the latest candy to sweep italia and soon the world in Pocket Coffee, a shot of espresso in a chocolate candy (now why didn’t I think of that?):

Happy Halloween!
