Swedish Delicacies W-O Chocolate are a popular pastry in Sweden, typically enjoyed with a cup of coffee or tea. These small, bite-sized pastries are made with a buttery dough and chopped almonds, creating a nutty and tasty flavor. While traditionally served without chocolate, these delicate pastries can also be enjoyed with a drizzle of melted chocolate for a sweeter take. They're perfect for bringing to a potluck or for enjoying as an afternoon snack.

6.	Roll out the dough into small balls and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7.	Flatten each ball slightly with your fingertips and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
