    Hello Patricia...I just bookmarked your recipe to merge with another I have for making these taralli. My 'Nonna' always made quite the spread for Easter...however...these never blessed our table.
    Therefore, next Easter I will surprise my family with something new.
    Here's to crossing my fingers to succeed.
    I am also tempted to want to add a smidgen of icing sugar frosting;0)
    Thank you for your recipe
