These taralli are the Italian snack I grew up with — always waiting in a bowl on my grandmother’s kitchen table. Crisp, golden, and lightly flavored with anise, this Southern Italian family recipe is made the traditional way: by feel, not by strict measurements. Passed down through generations, Gram’s taralli are perfect with coffee, tea, or wine and keep beautifully for weeks. If you’re craving a nostalgic, old-world Italian snack, this is the recipe to make.
