Variants

We have proposed the classic recipe with almonds so as to recreate the classic cantucci. However, if you want, you can use other types of dried fruit (they are delicious with hazelnuts or pistachios) or try your hand at more delicious preparations using chocolate chips for example. For dark cantucci (with chocolate chips or dried fruit) replace 30 g of flour with the same weight of bitter cocoa powder.

Conservation

The cantucci will keep for up to a month in a tin box.
