Catànies (Catalan pronunciation: [kəˈtaniəs], singular: catània) is a chocolate sweet typical of Vilafranca del Penedès and some other near towns made with marcona -a prestigious Catalan almond type-. They are toasted and covered first by caramel and then by a thick layer of white chocolate or a mixture of almond, hazelnut and milk. Finally, they are covered by a thin layer of powdered black chocolate, sometimes mixed with a little bit of icing sugar. They are often offered as a gift or served alongside coffe after a meal.
