These traditional Sardinian sweets are handcrafted with patience and care. I wish I could say that I made these sweets but alas I didn’t. I did however eat my fair share; all of them mine.
Which one would you like to try?
This is my response to this week’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Mine.

These are just amazing and look so yummy! When we were in Sardegna, my cousins out did themselves with their fabulous sweet treats! A place to visit and enjoy for all! Great job! Have a great day!

So much better than a ‘Mine’ photo of a lump of coal, Jennifer.

Wow – so pretty – and yummy looking!
No doubt those sweets were offered to you at the wedding banquet and I’m sure they were scruptious ..but I can’t imagine downing them with caffelatte at breakfast as someone suggested. Sardinia has a renowned collection of liquorous wines for that purpose. Just one thing I’d like to point out though, the tradional (homemade) cakes arn’t as bad for your calorie count as would appear. In the past sugar was an unnecessary luxury in the traditionally poor rural Sardinia economy and in the best recepies it’s often replaced with honey, boiled down red wine most (sapa), raisins hazel and walnuts and the almond cakes are almond cakes and not diced with tons of refined sugar.
…well on second thoughts they are a weightwatchers nightmare…but who really cares 🙂
So very true Joe! Who really cares about calories anyway? Not me, give me formagella!! 🙂

oh, and at breakfast for me … no way. Too sweet. Nice after dinner treats.

Do I have to choose only one? 🙂
No, I like to share, you can try all of them! 😉
Papassini,Tiliccas,Pardulas,Sospiri,a few Bianchini and….oh yes some Sospiri and Amaretti which are missing cause you`ve already eaten them!!!!!Caught in the act!!!!
Did you eat the Torrone too?!….Jennifer!!!!!!
There was no Torrone at the wedding, but I love Torrone! yum!
LOL!
My favs are the tiliccas, with the arantzadas coming in second, and the pappassinas a good third — although they rank 1st for breakfast, dunked in hot milk.

Thanks for the actual names, I just know them as good!
At least with the meringues I’d know what to expect. The others are terra – er, sugar – incognito!
they look delicious? How long after you snapped the photo did you eat them all? I imagine they are flavored with anise and orange?
Yes, some of them are flavoured with anise and orange. I took the photo and soon dug right on in! 😉
they look very tempting! the Portuguese also make some fab sweets and cakes too – hard to resist!
They were very hard to resist! 😉

Great job! Have to say that these are on my nono list, too many kilos! They sure look pretty though.
That’s too bad as they are dynamite! 😉
