From Danette St. Onge, your Guide to Italian Food

Italians celebrate Easter in may ways throughout the different regions, but generally with chocolate eggs for the children containing toy surprises, roast lamb or goat, spring vegetables such as artichokes, and a colomba (dovea cake made with the same dough as panettone but baked in the shape of a bird and topped with coarse pearl sugar and/or almonds.

As a special Easter chocolate treat, together with a variety of traditional Easter recipes we have a recipe for decadent Bacio brownies, made with the famed chocolates from the Perugina brand.

Buona Pasqua a tutti!

Bacio Brownies (Brownies al Bacio)

I had the pleasure of speaking recently with Viola Buitoni, descendant of the Buitoni family that founded a food empire spanning pastas and sauces to the Perugina chocolate brand, makers of the famous Baci chocolates. She shared family legends and a recipe for luscious brownies made with Baci chocolate candies.
