Paprenjaci are traditional Croatian biscuits with honey and black pepper. They were usually prepared throughout the year, although they are mostly associated with Christmas time and winter. Originally, these were simple, square-shaped biscuits with various decorations on top such as religious or pagan symbols, but today they can be shaped in many different forms.

The most popular varieties include biscuits with pepper, from the city of Zagreb, and the ones from the island of Hvar, where they are made with a combination of spices, but without pepper.
