What they are
Piparkūku bumbiņas are gingerbread balls: small crunchy pieces of Selga's cinnamon-and-clove gingerbread covered in milk chocolate. The chocolate makes up nearly two-thirds of each ball, so you get a smooth, creamy shell around a crisp, 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 ice cream or scattered on a Christmas trifle. There is a white chocolate version too.
