Macadamia Panforte

For this decadent dessert recipe, Australia meets Italy with native macadamia nuts and a Tuscan festive fruit cake. A traditional panforte recipe would not use macadamia nuts and is a heavy, chewy, spicy, sweet treat, reputedly used to keep the Crusaders going. This Aussie macadamia panforte makes an excellent home made edible gift, and best of all, you can prepare it weeks in advance to really enhance the flavors.
