What is a calisson?
A calisson is a traditional French candy made from ground almonds, candied fruit (like melon and orange peel), and sugar, formed into an oval shape, set on a wafer, and topped with a thin layer of icing. Soft and chewy with a delicate, fruity-almond flavor, it's a specialty of Aix-en-Provence.
