Huesos de santo

Huesos de santo or saint’s bones is a Spanish finger-shaped treat that is traditionally prepared for All Saints’ Day. The name comes from the visual appearance – this sweet treat looks like a white bone on the outside, which is actually marzipan paste, while the interior hides a sticky yellow filling made with beaten egg yolks and sugar. Although the combination of egg yolks and sugar is the traditional filling, huesos de santo can also be filled with chocolate, coconut, cream, and similar sweet ingredients.
