Ingredients for 2 servings:

  • 2 tbsp honey, liquid
  • 1 tbsp butter, soft

This little treat has the Spanish name Alegria and means joy/cheer.

Mix everything together in a bowl until a smooth dough forms. With moistened hands, press the dough into a small, shallow loaf pan and let it set in the refrigerator. Cut small bars with a sharp, damp knife. Store the rest in a cool place. I then shaped the bars into small balls and little tongues and covered them with a little chocolate coating.
