"COUCOUGNETTES" Better candy of France of the YEAR 2000

If the name of "coucougnettes" evokes life things today. To “make a coucougne” means to kiss, to caress, to cherish, to hug, in a word, “coucougner” is to offer a little love.
"The most famous coucougnettes" are, without a doubt, those of the good king Henri lV called the gallant green to which historians allot 54 mistresses and 24 children. According to the generation and the education of each one, they were baptised differently. If the middle-class men call them “the things of life”, the invaluable ones or the purses, the men of science name them reproductive genitales parts, testicles. For the chefs will be "the kidneys" and for average Frenchman, "the merry ones, boboles, baloches, testicles, waltzers, and other testicles...."
But the large majority of people call them by their name and do not wish to have them break also, many would like to have them out of GOLD…

COMPOSITION

The coucougnette is made of fresh almonds crushed with cane sugar, mixed with grilled almonds caramelized with a brandy peel of gingembre and a glassful of Armagnac. The heart of the coucougnette is a whole sweet almond roasted and coated with real black chocolate.
It is entirely rolled by hand and soaked in raspberry juice to give it this dew color.

QUEEN MARGOT’S NIPPLE

If the Margot queen had the unsteady tit
Offering ludic nipple to whom desired it
With the cords of Brassens, did not take of it shade, a greedy kitten drank there at once…

Friends, if you like this exquisite savour,
Offer it without decency, in a serene world,
The man is only a child and the promised ground,
Could not deprive itself of the softness of a breast.

Lou Labaig, Lady of feather of jam maker of France.

The heart of the galipette consists of a fine praline-flavoured with an almond coated with a chocolate of the island of Sao Tomé then rolled into Galipette in a sheet of thin pancake lace.
