I mentioned last post that the Payard candy counter was closed (or ignored by the people that work there). Since I couldn't get at the freshly made candy, I bought the prepackaged candies that they had at their pastry counter. I picked up a raspberry marshmallow and a collection various fruit jellies- big mistake. The raspberry marshmallow was so old that the experience eating it was akin to eating raspberry scented leather. The fruit jellies had crystalized, turning them into fruit flavored sugar cubes.
Learn from my mistake- if you go to Payard, buy the fresh stuff and leave the pre-packed crud alone.

At least the "fresh stuff" is really, really good. Arguably worth the entire drive. ;)
