Panforte is traditionally served in thin slices for dessert along with a glass of vin santo, a Tuscan dessert wine. But it can also be eaten in chunks for breakfast or as an afternoon pick-me-up. | | | Features: | |

Really delicious but impossible to remove paper from back of panforte. I ate the paper, but I would rather have not.
