Grissini with chocolate (Grissini al cioccolato)
6 servings
100 minutes
Grissini al cioccolato is an Italian treat that combines crispy breadsticks with a rich chocolate aroma. Originating from Piedmont, grissini are traditionally served with wines and appetizers, but this version turns them into an exquisite dessert. The dough mixed with chocolate chips rises and is then rolled into thin sticks that are baked to perfect crispness. The flavor blends light sweetness with a rich chocolate note, creating a harmony of simplicity and sophistication. They are perfect for breakfast with a cup of espresso and can be served with cream or fruits or enjoyed on their own while indulging in Italian gastronomic traditions. Each crispy slice is a small portion of delight!
