LATVIAN BRAND · SELGA · 150 G
What they are
Piparkūku bumbiņas are gingerbread balls: pieces of Selga's cinnamon-and-clove gingerbread rolled in white chocolate. The chocolate makes up about two-thirds of each ball, so you get a creamy, milky shell around a crunchy, gently spiced centre. They are made without palm oil.
Put a bowl out with coffee or mulled wine over the holidays, or tuck the bag into a stocking. They are also nice crushed over vanilla ice cream or on top of a festive trifle.
