un bien bon bonbon

Wonderfully romantic tins of French sweets containing hard white [Do Not Bite] pea-sized candies from Anis de Flavigny.

The pictures on the tins for each flavour have a part to tell in the story of a Shepherd and his Beloved Shepherdess ~ collect all flavours to complete the story.

Each candy contains an aniseed in its center coated with fine layers of beet sugar and all-natural flavorings.

Note: Anise Pimpinella anisum which is harvested from around Spain and Turkey ~ not to be confused with Star Anise [Chinese anise ~ fruit of an exotic tree].
