Sicilian Totò

Dessert

Sicilian Toto 'are typical sweets made for the recurrence of all the saints and for the commemoration of the dead, widespread especially in Catania and Syracuse. The ecclesiastical dogmas foresaw moments of fasting and abstinence in this period. The housewives of the time and even more bakers and pastry chefs then tried their hand at a real art of "culinary recycling", confectionery in this case. This very tasty and sweet biscuit was nothing more than the result of a mixture of scraps and leftover stuff inside the bakeries Totò are cocoa biscuits coated with icing, also cocoa-flavored and stored for a long time in tin boxes.
