If you haven’t ever tried true Spanish Turron you are missing out!
This almond paste one on the right is what I particularly remember from my childhood when my grandfather would return from his trips to Spain. Just taking a single little bite brings back a flood of memories.
Just one of the many simple pleasures Bon Bon and Semisweet brought back from Barcelona.
Edited: Jaime asked what turron was. It is a confection made with honey, sugar, egg whites, and almonds (though other nuts can be used as well).
What brings you simple pleasure?

That looks so yummy! Now I’m hungry.
I don’t even know what that is…
maybe you could let us uneducated know??? 🙂
Looks delish though.
Painting the trim of my home a vibrant and clean glossy white. Mmmm, simple pleasure.
That looks really yummy. I haven’t ever heard of it either! Thanks for enlightening us once again. 🙂
OH MY! Pick me! What a delish treat! 🙂 (thanks for the explination)
Oh yum! That looks like my mom’s honey candy. It’s one of my favorite candies to make at Christmas-time.
Mmmmmm… but maybe I need to make some a little sooner… like tomorrow.
