Monas are the undisputed Easter snack. Both children and adults snack on this typical sweet on Easter days. Monas, like burnt bread, are based on flour, sugar, water, egg, oil, lemon and yeast. After fermentation, it is time to traditionally cook them in the wood oven, on the eve of Easter.

As an anecdote, monkeys usually adapt their size to the age of the diner. From a very young age, children have their monkey smaller in size and it grows over the years. It is also customary for the little ones to put an egg on their monkey and when they go to eat it they sing «Ací em pica, ací em cou, ací menge la mona i em trenque l’ou», breaking the egg on their forehead.
