I've always been a bit fascinated by Jordan almonds, which were not even on my radar until I started working in the wedding industry. So, I thought it might be fun to do a bit a research on these confectionary treats. The fact that Jordan almonds are commonly used as wedding favors is not by accident but rather stems from some symbolism behind the candy. The "bitter" almond and the "sweet" sugary candy coating are meant to represent the bitterness of life and the sweetness of love. The traditionally pastel colored candies are often packaged in groups of five to represent happiness, health, longevity, wealth and fertility.
