Broa de mel is a sugarcane-honey-flavored Portuguese biscuit made with rich ingredients and spices that may include "wheat flour, eggs, honey and/or sugar, olive oil, pine nuts, sweet wine or coffee, salt and spices (cinnamon, cloves and fennel)." Some sources permit the substitution of anise for fennel. Broas de mel are traditionally consumed at Christmas time (Natal), and in some regions on All Saints' Day (Dia de Todos os Santos).
