A coucougnette is a confection made with almonds, marzipan and chocolate.[1] 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. Each coucougnette is dipped in raspberry juice, resulting in a pink colour.
