Depending on the culture you're in, it can mean very different things.
For the western world it is "a piece of candy or a piece of fruit covered in sugar," or "a food rich in sugar." (Thanks, Merriam-Webster!)
Well, there is not a drop of fruit in these little darlings, but I would definitely say that they are rich in sugar. If you're looking for a healthy dessert or treat, this is not for you. If you're looking for the perfect holiday coffee companion, you are in the right place.
If you like giving food gifts around the holidays you might try cutting these into tiny squares and pairing them with a small bag of coffee. Delish!
