Two fun and easy to make ‘panellet’ recipes

The calendar rules, and now touch ‘panellets’. Eat them and why not make them. We like both, so we go to two renowned pastry shops to get advice on which pieces to make … and how to make them, of course. We want fun and easy recipes to make.

Vallflorida Chocolatiers (Carretera del Montseny, 12, in Sant Esteve de Palautordera) offers us some ‘panellets’ with citrus and chocolate, while L’Atelier Barcelona (Viladomat, 140 bis) bets on the square panellets, like the range it sells this year. Which ones make you salivate the most?
