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.
