Emma D'Alessandro, head chef of Donovan's in Melbourne, shares this recipe for an Italian sweet. Boconotti, meaning "mouthful" or "bites", is said to have been invented around the late 1700s, when cocoa first started to circulate around Europe. "This recipe is from my Nonna Gilda who lives around the corner from my father's uncle's wife, Assunta, who is originally from Lanciano. There are a few variations with these recipes; however, this one in particular is from my nonna. It's always eaten around the table, or as an afternoon snack with coffee or a glass of Vin Santo."
