Raffaello candies are the embodiment of Italian sophistication in desserts. Delicate, airy, and melting in your mouth, they combine the sweetness of condensed milk, the creamy softness of butter, and the exotic aroma of coconut. Inside each ball is an almond – a crunchy surprise that enhances the flavor even more. The history of these candies is linked to the pursuit of refined pleasure, as coconut treats are valued for their lightness and tropical freshness. They can be served with coffee, used to decorate a festive table, or simply enjoyed as a delightful sweet treat. They are easy to prepare and consistently delight – a perfect balance of textures and flavors. This dessert carries a piece of sunny Italy and enchants with its elegant simplicity.
