Maffren Calissous Mini Calissons are almond-shaped candies coated with smooth royal icing made with a soft mixture of ground almonds, candied fruits (melons, orange peels), honey, and orange blossom. Each candy is individually wrapped for convenience, making them ideal for snacking.
Calissons are traditional French specialty candies dating back to the 12th century. These sweet and chewy delights are typically made with candied fruits, a soft blend of finely crushed almonds, melons, and candied orange peel. Calissons are believed to originate in the town of Aix-en-Provence in southern France. They have a very similar texture to marzipans, except they’re fruitier and have a melon-like flavor.
