Baking these goodies really isn't that tricky. I used to think my grandma had a special magical touch that only grandmas were privy to. I didn't realize until years later when I began to ask my grandma for her recipes....that these goodies weren't really that hard to make. It's just about using the same things over and over. We use tons of nuts, booze, and other *normal* ingredients that you can find in most grocery stores! Bookmark this page and cook desserts with us!

Lisa Gianotti Superbowl Sunday is coming up! The best Italian Dessert Recipes for a party like this are ones that are:

FAST

Finger Foodish (not big hunky sticky globs of gooey-ness that get on your furniture)

And freeze-aheads

A couple of my favs for this are Cappucino Cookies (lots like choc chips but with a twist)

Anisette Cookies (Always on the top 5)

Rum Balls (Gingersnaps and Rum)

Let's not for get the drinks to go with the beer that will be present! Check out my Italian drinks section for that.
