I will have to research what the Italian version is. I guess my aunts didn’t know how to make that one :-) I’m actually I remember my favorite aunt made something with hazelnuts that had been biscotti in them. Not crumbled, but layered. That’s what they called the plain crackers. Or cookies rather
That sounds like it. Apparently, it is biscotti or biscuits and nuts, folded into melted chocolate and cocoa powder and rolled until it resembles a sausage or salami. Then it has confectioner’s sugar rubbed into it to mimic the outside and when cut, the biscotti looks a bit like the bits of fat in the salami. A lot of trouble, in my opinion and I’m not all that interested in making food look like other food. It’s probably regional as are most Italian goodies.
