5.0 out of 5 stars Delicious Calissons from France

I first learned about Calissons from a “How it’s Made” episode. These are traditional French almond paste candies flavored with melon and orange. They are rich and delicious! You wouldn’t want to eat more than a couple at a time. But I seem to keep going back later for more...

The taste is subtle - Almond, sweetness, and a hint of citrus. The texture is a mixture of softness and a little bit of graininess from the almond paste with a slight firmness from the frosting. It’s really quite enjoyable. At the cost of course it’s just a seasonal treat. But I think that from now on it will be on my list of Christmas treats.

By the way, by my math, the calories come out to about 60 calories each.

I too watched the how it’s made episode with these. I have no comparison with other brands and I decided on this brand for the cost per count. None of them are cheap by any means. The show really sold me on these being someone that loves almonds. Not for everyone but if your reading this, you should try them. I might try another brand to get a better opinion.

I have nothing negative to say about this purchase. Only to say I eat too many at one time, they were good. I first heard about this popular French candy on a show called, “How It’s Made” on the science channel. This is my first time trying these candies. These have a hard sugar topping on top of them and a taste of soft orange inside. Some may say the price is high, but these are imported from France. It’s worth the price. I’m planning to order more from this seller, to share at work and family at a later time. I’m pleased with this purchase, no issues everything went well.

I got them because I saw the product on How it's made" tv series. Delivery was not quick. Once received I was excited to try but not impressed. Lemon and almond flavors? More almond and blah for my taste. Very subtle flavors. Still getting 4 stars because they are good, just not my cup of tea.

Eh!! Not my cup of tea! They are not very flavorful. I'd be happy to never have tried them at all. I'll be happy to have one a year. That means they should last me until they go bad... some time beyond the grave.

Remembered having a calison in Paris long ago. Remembered fondly. These are expensive and did not recreate the feeling of having them with coffee in Paris.
