The candied almond is a whole almond covered in a layer of crystallized sugar or colored icing, forming a hard and crunchy shell around the nut. Also known as almond “dragees”, they are traditional at parties, weddings, baptisms and souvenirs — especially in white, as a symbol of prosperity and purity.

🤍 Characteristics of the candied almond:

Crunchy and nutritious interior: the almond is rich in good fats, vitamin E, magnesium and fiber.

Sweet coating: the confection is made with sugar, glucose and sometimes natural or artificial colorings, depending on the presentation.

It can be made with a shiny white finish (classic), colored (for themed events) or even with pearly or metallic effects.
