Within the next few days many nome day celebrations are coming! So I thought of making a tribute to sweets that you can make at home and share them as a treat at work.
Cariocas are always the number one choice in such cases! It is also a perfect sweet to clear up whatever biscuits and nuts you have at home.
Tip: To freshen up the nuts, you can simply bake them for 3 minutes in a well-preheated oven at 180 ° C. This will make them more crisp and fresh.
