What Are Jordan Almonds? A Whole Lot Of Sweet Nostalgia
Some candies are flashy. Some candies are trendy. Some candies show up on TikTok, disappear for six months, then come back in a different flavor.
And then there are Jordan almonds.
Jordan almonds are one of those classic candies that have been around forever, and for good reason. They’re simple, elegant, colorful, crunchy, sweet, and just fancy enough to make any candy dish look like royalty is coming to visit.
If you’re of a certain age, there’s a good chance you remember seeing Jordan almonds in a candy dish at your parents’ house, your grandparents’ house, an aunt’s house, or maybe sitting on a coffee table next to a glass ashtray nobody was allowed to touch. They were the candy that looked pretty and made you feel like you were eating something a little more grown-up than a regular piece of candy.
But what exactly are Jordan almonds?
Jordan almonds are whole almonds covered in a hard candy shell. That’s it! A roasted almond is tucked inside a smooth, crunchy coating, giving you that perfect combination of nutty, sweet, and crisp in every bite. The candy shell usually comes in pastel colors, which is why Jordan almonds have been a favorite for weddings, showers, parties, candy buffets, and special events for generations.
They may feel like an old-school candy, but don’t let that fool you. Jordan almonds are still incredibly popular today.
More Than Just A Snack
Of course, Jordan almonds are great for eating all by themselves. Pour some into a candy dish, set them out for guests, or keep a small bowl nearby when you want something sweet with a little crunch.
But they’re also fantastic for decorating, gifting, and celebrating.
Jordan almonds are popular for:
- Wedding favors
- Baby showers
- Bridal showers
- Candy buffets
- Anniversary parties
- Graduation parties
- Baptisms and christenings
- Holiday candy dishes
- Dessert tables
- Party centerpieces
- Gift bags and favor boxes
They’re especially perfect when you want candy that looks as good as it tastes. Those pretty pastel colors can dress up a candy table fast, while classic white Jordan almonds bring a clean, elegant look that works beautifully for weddings and formal events.
You can scoop them into small favor bags, place them in decorative jars, mix them into candy displays, or use them as part of a color-themed dessert table.
