OK, OK! I know, fortune cookies are Chinese not Italian. But I ran across some great Italian proverbs that would be a kick to insert in fortune cookies. You could dip the cookies in chocolate and decorate them with jimmies to make them more 'wedding-like.' The recipe is from allrecipes.com. Try printing the Italian proverb on one side of the fortune and in English on the back. If you don't want to make you own try this web site:
http://www.kbbakery.com/. They make the fruit flavored beauties at the top left, and the sprinkle adorned assortment at the right. If you want to go another route go to http://cannolibymail.com/ where you can buy cannoli fortune favors, complete with fortune and tied with a ribbon, but they also sell the shells to add your own fortunes to. If you want to make your own fortune cookies or cannoli try http://www.allrecipes.com/.
