5 ways to fill the Befana sock in an original way
We all remember with affection the moment when we woke up on the morning of January 6 and ran around in search of the magical sock brought by the Befana. Someone was preparing dinner for her the night before, with the recommendation not to exaggerate too much because there were so many children who thought of her. The fact is that, even if a little older, we are always happy to receive it and, often, we also have to do it. But what if our tastes were a little changed and we wanted something different from the classic "crap"?

Although it is really complex to imagine that there, around the world, someone who prefers something else to a classic sock full of the most varied sweets (I mean, but chocolate cigarettes, do we want to talk about it?), It is just like that. Let's see what we can invent if we happen to meet that "mythological being mentioned above on our path."

1. Do-it-yourself Epiphany stocking
If we are tired of a sock full of packaged sweets and candies, we can give vent to our culinary art and prepare many little things with our hands, even very simple ones. Small cookies, mini cakes, homemade candies or some fabulous chocolates, just like these:
Of course, if we don't have enough time, the DIY sock is not one of the best alternatives, but it will certainly be super appreciated!
2. Savory stocking for those who don't like sweets
The world has always been divided in two: who could dine with a nice slice of cake or ice cream and who, on the other hand, can never give up salty. Precisely for the latter, we can imagine a different sock, made of many salty things: packets of chips, peanuts, pistachios, toasted almonds, taralli, pretzels, popcorn. The savory stocking can be an excellent alternative for less sugary palates.

3. Befana stocking for dieters
Since Christmas and New Year are the days of exaggeration, many begin to recover just before the Epiphany. But no problem, there are excellent alternatives in this case as well. We can fill the stocking with different types of tea, the most varied slimming and relaxing herbal teas, small bags of ginger with which to make an excellent drink to fight colds and flu. By adding some organic wholemeal biscuits, the magic sock for the health conscious is ready.

5. Classic Epiphany stocking but with a unique theme
Nothing, if the idea of giving up the classic sweets will never belong to you, there is always the alternative. Instead of filling it with various and possible ones, choose a unique theme, for example (coincidentally) chocolate.You can put bars, refined or artisanal chocolates, cocoa or sachets to make hot chocolate, a beautiful chocolate mask for the face, a flavored body cream and off you go!
Or opt for a vintage Epiphany sock!
