Dolci frutta BARKS & BITES

Tuscan Tutti-Frutti Plate

Spear bite-sized chunks of chilled cream cheese, cubes of date nut bread, rum balls, well-blotted maraschino cherries, well-blotted mandarin orange segments, and fresh cranberries or raspberries with frilled toothpicks. Dip halfway into melted Dolci frutta then roll half in ground pecans for a tempting tray of elegant mini-treats. Cool on waxed paper.

Teen’s Tutti-Frutti Plate

Similar to above, but delete rum balls and raspberries, and add your choice of gum drops, mini-marshmallows, caramel cubes, and chilled peanut butter dobs.

Sweet ‘n Salty Snack

Spread salted popcorn on waxed paper and drizzle with melted Dolci frutta. Toss gently to mix.

Caramelcorn ‘n Candy

Spread caramelcorn on waxed paper and drizzle with melted Dolci frutta. Toss gently to mix.

Easy Candy Clusters

Simply mix leftover melted Dolci frutta with your choice of nuts, crunchy cereals, diced dried fruits, raisins or trail mix. Drop from teaspoon onto waxed paper and allow to harden.

Better Nut Barks

Stir whole or chopped almonds (or nuts of your choice) into melted Dolci frutta. Spread to about 1/2" thickness on waxed paper. Cool until hard. Break into pieces for serving. (Try coconut, crispy rice cereal, chow mein noodles, granola or crushed butter brickle for other barks worth biting!)

Peanut Butter Cups

Coat the inside of small paper-foil candy cups with melted Dolci frutta and allow to cool. Add scant teaspoonfuls of peanut butter and top with more melted Dolci frutta. Let cool again until set, peel away paper. Try using a variety of favorite jams and jellies in place of peanut butter.
