Italian Almond Cake Bites with Amaretto

Italian Almond Cake Bites with Amaretto
I've fallen in love with these tiny Italian almond cake bites that pack a big punch of flavor. The Amaretto really shines through, giving them a rich and sophisticated taste that's hard to resist. They're perfect for when you need a quick dessert or snack that's not too overwhelming. I love how crunchy they are on the outside and soft on the inside - it's a texture combination that's simply divine. These little treats are sure to become a staple in your household, just like they have in mine.
