Halloween isn’t an Italian holiday, although I know it is becoming more and more popular with kids (and even adults) in Italy.

Ossa di Morto (or Ossi dei Morti), means bones of the dead in Italian. When you really think about the name and the shape of the cookie, it is sort of macabre and even creepy. I couldn’t tell my kids that these were “bones of the dead”, as they probably would run instead of thinking they were cool!The cookies are shaped long and skinny and when you pile them all up together, it does look like a bunch of bones. But they sure are delicious and creepy cookies!! RECIPE TIPS AND FAQ’S: Swipe up for more tips
