Jordan almonds
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jordan almonds, also known as sugared almonds, are a type of confectionery consisting of almonds covered with a candy coating in various pastel colors.
A classic form of dragée, they are often used as wedding favors due to the "bitter" almonds and the "sweet" sugar representing bittersweet married life.[citation needed] No longer exclusive to weddings, they are now used as gifts for other occasions and have become a popular movie candy snack. Jordan almonds commonly come in pastel, spring themed colors such as lilac, pale yellow, light green, and white.
