French Candy Recipes

From the rich chocolate truffle, named after a fungus, to boiled orange peels soaked in sugar syrup, there is no end to the creativity of French candy recipes. So often, the most popular confections have originated from the French taking a humble leftover scrap of something in the kitchen, and then toying and working it into scrumptious perfection.

These authentic French recipes are all easy to make, and most of them have an active preparation time of less than 30 minutes. Treat yourself and try one tonight. Bon appetit!
