## Description

Calissons are not a typical sweet. There is a unique story to go along with the calissons that crossed the history of southern of France. In the middle of the fifteen century the King Rene's court, also known the Count of Provence. In 1454 during the King's wedding with Jeanne De Laval, there was a problem: the Bride-to-be never smiled. The confectioner created a new sweet, he decided to combine some of Provence's most spectacular delights to craft it. When the Queen tried these delights, she was amazed by its incredible taste, and smiled! When she asked what it was, the pastry chef responded "Di Calin Soun" which in provencal language means "Little hugs". In that moment, the history of the calisson began, and they are shaped to always remember Queen's smile.Diamond Shape box filled with 20 Calissons

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lite and tasty
*by C***U on February 18, 2025*

These we saw on Food Network with a traveling chef and they were highlighted in his show. They looked delicious on TV so we ordered a box! I love almonds and these really hit it off with me and my husband! Great for a little bite of something sweet after dinner.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So happy to finally try these!
*by A***R on January 13, 2021*

Wanted to try these for years! Finally ordered them. Arrived in perfect condition. None broken or cracked! Absolutely beautiful.Not as sweet as I expected, but in a good way! A little bitter note to make them interesting! And the candy icing was crackly! The melon dandy was a bit more “doughy” than expected, again incc by a good way! I imagined it being more like a jelly.Absolutely delicious and a nice treat yoself thang!!

### ⭐ These cookies literally taste like wet sand.
*by J***S on August 6, 2021*

I ordered these cookies after seeing them featured on the Food Channel. After watching a demonstration of how lovingly they made, and anticipating the surprise factor these treats would generate from my ethnically French family, I thought they would be a welcome treat to share and celebrate the holidays. Of course, my family clamored to sample a taste of French history, but once I noticed the look of utter disgust on my dear grandmother’s face after taking a bite of the cookie, not to mention my mother’s haste in offering her a napkin to dispose of the offending morsel, I came to deeply regret what I put my family through.After proclaiming how awful these cookies were, several of my family members decided to critique these allegedly highly sought after treats. We all agreed that the cookies tasted like “wet beach sand”. As for the price of these cookies, one would think that they would be packaged in an actual tin and not a minuscule plastic box that, incidentally, was dented in transport. The inner packing of the plastic box was actually quite pretty, with the cookies overlayed in waxed paper accentuated by a cut lace border. The adornments promised a delicious taste of France, but the taste of these tiny cookies made one wonder if the bakers misread some of the ingredients since the morsels had a truly an odd, pungent, and unsavory taste.I’ll be requesting a refund and recommend that you stay away from this Andrew Zimmern cookie recommendation—Perhaps this is one bizarre food he should have tossed straight into the trash.
