A la Raffaello: budget homemade sweets with coconut

Once upon a time, these sweets were given as gifts for the holidays because they had an unusual taste and beautiful packaging. Nowadays, they are a common treat for everyone, although they are more expensive than some other candies. However, their taste is still unsurpassed.

A food blogger with the nickname zhuravlina_cooking tried to replicate it at home. She posted a recipe for fairly budget-friendly sweets a la Raffaello on Instagram.
