Biberfladen or Biberbrot is available at all the carnivals and is also available during Christmas. It is Lebkuchen, which reminds me of gingerbread but different spices, and Biberbrot is generally filled with all kinds of yumminess like marzipan or hazelnut filling.

*drools* Did you eat any of those?
Hi Jessica,
wow, everything looks yummy ;D
And have you ever eaten the Basler Leckerli? We received a bag of them a year or two ago, but we thought they were just some ordinary cakes (and we’re not Lebkuchen-Fans). After couple of days, we opened the bag and aaaaaaaaaaaa, they tasted awesome! We ate all the Basler Leckerlins during one morning ;) I wonder if you can easily buy them in any of the big Swiss cities (not only in the Basel region)...?
Guten Appetit! :)
My husband is addicted to Biberli, the little miniature biberbrot that they sell in Migros/Coop. Kinda dry, but ok. The ones with pear remind me a lot of Fig Newtons.
I used to love these treats... Now I want to make my way back next year for a great Christmas visit!
Joanna -- there is a store in the Zurich HB that just sells Basler Leckerli . it's called the Leckerli-Haus (original, I know) and is on the bottom level.
rösti,
thanx!!!!! That's a good reason to go to Zurich when visiting CH. May be not for everyone, but for me yes ;)
Thanks, Joanna. I am on the lookout for the Basler Leckerli now!
