What is Italian Confetti? "Confetti" refers to whole almonds in a sugared shell. Confetti is the traditional favor given at family celebrations, such as baby showers, weddings, graduation, anniversary and other festivities. There is a color code: White for the Wedding, the First Holy Communion and Confirmation. Pink or blue for the Baptism. Green is for Engagement. Red for Graduation. Silver for 25th wedding anniversaries. Gold for 50th year of marriage. Today, in addition to the classic sugared almond, sometimes called in the US a "Jordan almond," there is the choice of gourmet confetti, filled with high-quality Italian chocolate. Or a dragee that is heart or almond-shaped but includes no almonds. Confetti almond production is concentrated in the Abruzzo and Campania regions, and Sicily is noted for its famous Avola almonds.
