Ever seen the movie Big Night? You know the part when they light the little bits of paper on fire that then float up in bright green flames? Yeah, you can do that at home, too.

Start a new holiday tradition of your own with these Lazzaroni Amaretti di Saronno. Each pair of little dry, slightly meringue-like cookies come wrapped in a beautifully decorated tissue for you to light on fire.

Flatten the tissue and make a cylinder of it. Set it on the table and light from the top. The flame will travel down the paper, causing it to take flight when it reaches the bottom.

A perfect mini ceremony for New Year’s, I write something to forget and something to remember on the paper, then burn away all my troubles and worries. Look to your local specialty food store or Italian grocery or pruchase online from Italy by Mail.

You could drink with the obligatory Amaretto di Saronno, or break out the Grand Marnier. Vin Santo, an Oloroso sherry, or Madeira would all play nice with these little bundles of joy. Don’t forget some strong black coffee.
