These amazing little French candies have been calling to my brain for over 25 years. Must. Have. Now.
They are called "Calissons d'Aix" or "Calissons de Provence." They are divine and impossible to come by in the states. (Can order them online... why does my birthday have to be so far away?!) I've been on a nostalgia kick lately and I can almost taste them. Can't stop thinking about them. I won't rest easy until I experience the blissful chewy-crunchy-fruity-nutty confection once more.
Now, if anyone can help me find the perfect recipe for Florentine cookies (also a European confection from my youth) I will love you forever....
Man alive, I'm a fatgirl. :(
