A true French luxury sweet, Marron Glacé are whole fresh chestnuts, gently poached in a vanilla-rich syrup to produce a sweet, vanilla treat with a meaty, unctuous texture.  Each chestnut is wrapped in foil, weighs 23-gr and is presented in a tin suitable for gifting.  A complex process is used to produce these tender, sweet delicacies.  Faugier has been preserving chestnut products for over 125 years and is a mark of French culinary excellence.  Candied chestnuts are sublime on their own or dipped in dark chocolate as a Petit Fours or as a spectacular garnish for cakes or chopped and sprinkled over ice cream."
