La Florentine Marrons Glace, 7.1 Ounce Boxes

A fabulous treat! Having been introduced to candied chestnuts in France, I’m so happy to have a source for them at home. A Christmas treat, I savor them one at a time. Perfect crunch and creaminess with lovely mild chestnut flavor.

Deliciosas

Packaging flimsy cardboard-Raquel. Although they DO make an effort at presentation with a foil type bag which can be reinserted into the box once opened.The marrons themselves were stale with an unpleasant taste of cheap vanilla syrup. So disappointing. Nowhere near the amazing confection I’ve had from other companies. At almost $30 for ten chestnuts, they fell FAR short. Bought them specifically as a Gluten Free holiday gift. I was embarrassed by the poor quality & staleness.

Nothing I disliked about it! It was fresh and so good!! Just like my hometown in France and reminds me of my dear late parents who used to ship it to me every year when I moved out here to the USA 🇺🇸

for the price paid was content with taste

Marron Glace were the go-to sweet for Queen Victoria so I had to try them. They are wonderful!, But REALLY rich. I can only eat 1/2 of one at a time. Did you know it takes 3 days to make one? I looked up the recipe. Definately worth the price on this box.

For almost fifty years now that I have been having these CANDIED CHESTNUTS = MARRONS GLACES at holidays times. THEY TASTED WONDERFUL WITH EVERYTHING FROM DINNER TO SWEETS, ESP. WITH A GLASS OF CHAMPAGNE.PRICING HAS GONE SKY HIGH.---HOWEVER, ONE CAN FIND SOME AT FIFTEEN DOLLARS PER BOX--RATHER THAN ALMOST FORTY DOLLARS HERE---THEY ARE SOLD AT RODMAN'S ON WISCONSIN AVENUE IN WASHINGTON,DC.THANK YOU FOR READING.

Such a disappointment. Was going to enjoy them this Christmas but, dry, nasty looking, tastless. Nothing to do with a Real Marrons Glacé.
