Italian Confetti: Premium Sugared almonds and Chocolate Dragées. In Italy, a traditional confectionery known as confetti is an essential part of celebrations, particularly at weddings, baptisms, and other joyous milestones. These are not the colorful paper sprinkles typically thrown at parties, but rather sugared almonds or sometimes sugared chocolates. Confetti are often carefully crafted with a crisp, thin sugar coating that encases either a whole almond or a small piece of chocolate. Traditionally, the number of confetti given usually holds significance—such as five, representing health, wealth, happiness, fertility, and long life. These elegant confections are presented in decorative boxes or tied in tulle, often shared as party favors, or scattered across tables at festive gatherings. The combination of the crunchy sugar shell with the bitter almond or sweet chocolate inside makes for a delightful contrast of flavors, symbolizing the bittersweet nature of life and the sweetness of celebration.
