In the shadow of the French Pyrenees, a confection unlikely in any other part of France or maybe the world!

In the city of Pau (  in Southwestern France), you'll find a sweet treat known as Les Coucougnettes.

A coucougnette is a confection made with almonds, marzipan and chocolate. The sweet consists of a whole roasted almond coated in dark chocolate, rolled in a mix of crushed almonds, cane sugar, ginger brandy and Armagnac! WOW!!!!!
