Now a traditional wedding favor, these esteemed confections are customarily offered in groupings of five to seven (always an uneven number) to symbolize health, happiness, wealth, fertility and longevity. Our classic, gourmet dragées are crafted at a family-owned confectionery in France, by Medicis, where master candymakers encase these almonds in thin, crisp sugar shells.

They are finesse extreme imported directly from Europe and sold in 1 kilogram bags (2.2 lbs). Unlike domestic almonds which are heavy with a thick sugar coat, the extreme finesse are very light, thin and elongated, thus giving you more sugared almonds per pound. How ever you use them these one-of-a-kind gourmet sugared almonds are light, delicious and nothing like you've had before.

Each bag contains approximately 320 pieces.
