What it is
These are small, individually wrapped cakes that capture the essence of traditional Italian rainbow cookies. They feature distinct layers of almond-flavored cake, often colored green, white, and red, separated by a thin layer of apricot jam. The top is typically coated in dark chocolate, providing a contrasting flavor and texture. Each bite offers a delightful combination of soft cake, sweet jam, and rich chocolate.
