Calissons are traditional marzipan-like confections from Provence. Candied Cavaillon melon, whole almonds, sugar, and a hint of orange rind for flavoring are formed into rounded diamond shapes and topped with just the right thickness of royal icing. To assure a flavorful treat with no bitter aftertaste, Arnaud Soubeyran's calissons contain no almond extract. These calissons are moist and soft with a slightly chewy texture that reminds us of the edges of a pan of brownies! We are developing a slight addiction to these real-food treats and find them a wonderful accompaniment to tea. 12 pieces.
