Miniature kisses

Miniature kisses are small sweet bites, usually made with a soft and spongy dough base, and topped or filled with typical ingredients such as dulce de leche, chocolate, or meringue. These sweets are characterized by their small size, making them perfect as an accompaniment on dessert tables or for enjoying in small portions.

The origin of miniature kisses is mainly associated with Latin American pastries, where they are very popular at social events like parties and family celebrations. Although recipes may vary by region, they are usually a compact and practical version of larger traditional desserts.

From a nutritional point of view, miniature kisses are rich in sugars and fats, which provides quick energy, but they should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

Regarding their synonyms in Spanish from Latin America, depending on the country, these sweets may be known as bocaditos, bombones, or besitos. However, the term miniature kisses is quite specific and directly refers to the smaller version of traditional besitos.
