Marron Madness

I recently received an e-mail from Deborah asking me where I got my jar or Marron crème that I used in the Reece article for Candy Critic (Click here to check it out). Marron crème is a strange substance that’s basically candied chestnuts smashed into a butter like spread. I’m not a huge fan of the stuff but it’s ok.

However if you go to Europe it’s pretty much all over the place. They love the stuff. Allison developed a taste for it when she used to get crepes on the streets of Paris. Put it on pancakes or maybe toast, just give it a try. While searching to see if I could find any for sale online I came across these:
