This review is from: Lazzaroni Amaretti, 16-Ounce Tin (Grocery)

My first encounter with these darling little treats was while watching Everyday Italian on the Food Network starring Giada De Laurentiis, my favorite chef of the past few years. She crumbled them into deserts, coffees, made pumpkin ravioli with it, baked amaretti apples and always praised their magical taste. Upon finally purchasing a box myself I was blown away by the hypnotic and addictive taste of marzipan in these little gems.

Amaretti Cookies are packed as a pair, wrapped in wax paper with Italian writing and insignias, praising its originality. They are two small crackling cookies per wrapper and they are a crunchy shell of delight. The taste is strangely addictive, after having a few I couldn't stop thinking about them! I have even purchased three more boxes two days after getting the first one. They taste like the holidays, spicy and lusciously laden with almonds and crispy sugary goodness with a tiny tang of bitterness of the almond. They flavor is royal and time stopping, on busy days, one bite of this cookie and I am transfixed into magical fields of luxurious old world taste that has been popular to Italians for years.

Incredibly aromatic crispy almond cookies that are a luscious addiction to coffee, tea or wine and are great for cooking and baking with. They really grew on me, I think I am an addict to their taste now, no wonder Giada is so smitten with them!

5.0 out of 5 stars Red Tin, Wrapped Pairs, December 10, 2009

This review is from: Lazzaroni Amaretti, 16-Ounce Tin (Grocery)

These come in the famous red tin -- see my customer photo. The current Amazon picture is incorrect -- it shows the "window-box" packaging, which is not what this item is.

The cookies inside are the full size Amaretti Di Saronno cookies, wrapped in pairs in the crinkly parchment paper. (These are not the small "Amarettini" cookies with the "-ini" at the end. Those come in the "tall" tin.)

Absolutely love these cookies. They are delicious with red wine. We get some each year during the Holiday season. Year after year, these are delicious as ever.

I cannot comment on whether it is still possible to light the wrappers on fire (a complaint in other reviews). I have not tried this since I was 15 years old, which was a LONG time ago.
