Kopernik Toruńskie Pierniki Gingerbread Katarzynki in Day Gift Box contains classic dark chocolate covered gingerbread in the special Katarzynki shape. Kopernik Toruńskie Pierniki Dark Chocolate Katarzynki Gingerbread have a unique taste which is the result of using a considerable amount of natural spices in specially kneaded, fat-free dough and then covered in rich chocolate. Katarzynki is the iconic shape of Toruński Pierniki and its form is not found anywhere else in the world. Several legends surround how Katarzynka, or Little Kate, came into existence. One holds that a well-known Toruń gingerbread maker fell ill and asked his only daughter, Katarzyna, to bake the gingerbread. Unable to find the medallion mold needed, she cut circles, which she put in the oven in two rows of three. The circles merged together, creating the scalloped shape that remains popular today. "Pierniki" (gingerbread) is derived from the Polish word "pieprz", meaning packed with peppery flavor. Traditional pierniki are soft when they first come out of the oven and harden after that. The cookies should be kept in a metal or airtight container to soften. Net Weight: 240g. / 8.47oz. Country of Origin: Poland
