These pieces can then be sprinkled over scoops of vanilla or chocolate ice cream, adding a delightful crunch and rich flavor. They can also be incorporated into the batter of cookies or brownies before baking, infusing the baked goods with pockets of sweet, nutty goodness. Serving small pieces alongside a warm beverage like coffee or tea offers a sophisticated and satisfying end to a meal.
How it differs from similar foods
