Calissons are a traditional French candy consisting of a smooth, pale yellow, homogeneous paste of candied fruit especially melons and oranges and ground almonds topped with a thin layer of royal icing. Calissons have a texture not unlike that of marzipan, but with a fruitier, distinctly melon-like flavor. Calissons are often almond-shaped and are typically about two inches in length. Calissons are traditionally associated with the town of Aix-en-Provence, France; consequently, most of the world supply of calissons are still made in the Provence region. A macaroon is a small biscuit or cookie, typically made from ground almonds, coconut or other nuts, with sugar and sometimes flavorings, food coloring, glace cherries, jam or a chocolate coating – or a combination of these or other ingredients.
