Bomboniere (Traditional Italian Party Favor)

A bomboniere is a small party favor traditionally
given to guests at Italian celebrations, particularly
weddings. They hold five candied almonds (also
called confetti, or Jordan almonds). The number five
represents health, wealth, happiness, fertility, and
long life; and candied almonds represent both the
bitterness and sweetness of life.
Bombonieri can take many forms, from a simple
tulle bag to truly ornate boxes. My bomboniere is a
simple three-inch elongated pyramid that can be
decorated any way your creativity inspires you!
