The recipe for Panforte, literally "Strong Bread" in English, dates back to the 13th Century. A Tuscan specialty, Chocolate Panforte is made from all-natural ingredients like almonds, chocolate, sugar, wheat flour, honey, nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla. It has a heavy consistency, and a chewy, thick texture. Originally a Christmas pastry, Panforte is now enjoyed year round by Italian cuisine enthusiasts around the world. Made by Corsini, the most respected pastry company in Tuscany since 1921.

Comments about Chocolate Panforte:
Bread of strength is an old and yuumy dessert of snack. Eat it is small slices and savor it. The only con I have is that cocoa on the outside is always messy, but alas it is worth it for this old world treat.
Top notch!
