Taralli are a traditional Italian snack that are usually served spicy. This alternative recipe is for a sweet version – with hazelnuts for a nutty twist, cinnamon for wintry warmth and chocolate for that melt-in-the-mouth sensation. With their crunchy texture and subtle bite, taralli are perfect for the holiday season and make a delicious alternative to classic Christmas biscuits.

How it's done

Basic dough

In a bowl, mix the flour with all the other ingredients up to and including the salt. Pour in the oat drink and oil, knead to form a soft, smooth dough. Divide the dough into 3 equal portions.

Hazelnut taralli

Add the hazelnuts to one portion of the dough, knead in.

Chocolate taralli

Add the chocolate powder and melted chocolate to one portion of the dough, knead in.

Cinnamon taralli

Add the cinnamon to one portion of the dough, briefly knead in to create a marble effect.

To shape

Shape the 3 portions of dough into rolls (each approx. 8 mm in diameter), cut the rolls into pieces approx. 6 cm long. Shape the pieces of dough into rings.

To cook

Cook the cinnamon taralli in batches in boiling water for approx. 4 mins. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a tea towel. Place the rings on two baking trays lined with baking paper. Sprinkle the cinnamon taralli with the sugar. Repeat these steps with the remaining taralli.

To bake

Approx. 30 mins. in the centre of an oven preheated to 160 °C. Remove from the oven, leave to cool on a rack. Dip the chocolate taralli half way into the chocolate, leave to dry.
