We have gotten right into grissini around here, largely because we are now adding this colourful trio to a client project on request. They are kind of fun to make, the kids will love to help (and eat) and don't stop with these three options, think spinach or powdered greens, beetroot powder for a very Christmassy set of grissini. They do make a pretty fun hostess gift if you pair up a few with a batch of homemade pesto or pate. Or even just pair up with a fabulous cheese from The Cheese Cathedral. Super easy gifting sorted!
