Brutti ma buoni

Brutti ma buoni (lit. 'ugly but good'), also known as mandorlati di San Clemente, is a type of hazelnut or almond-flavoured biscuit produced in Prato, Tuscany, and many other cities. These biscuits are made by incorporating meringue, which is an egg white and sugar mixture, with roasted chopped nuts. Brutti ma buoni are crunchy on the outside with a soft texture in the middle. Their origin is disputed, but they have been made since at least the mid-1800s.^{[citation needed]}
