This recipe is from my aunt Zia Giuseppina (my mother's sister-in-law). She was also born in Casacalenda. Torongini is a biscotti that is as decadent as torrone. I made them when we had our [B&B] opening on May 1st. My guests love them when I serve them with coffee or tea. For more information visit: www.bbcanada.com/stjohnsbnb.
