These quality gourmet candy bars are made with honey and roasted Spanish almonds. The "Duro" variety is a crunchy nougat treat, not unlike almond brittle, while the "Blando" variety is softer, with an almond-butter consistency. Enchanted by El Almendro since 1883, these gourmet treats can be enjoyed as healthy snacks, fine desserts, or at festive occasions. Varieties sold separately.

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

my MIL is Cuban, and DH grew up stealing the Turron at holiday dinners, much to MIL's chagrin. The Blando is, apparently, the *only* turron. It is soft and buttery and quite wonderful. As a WASP I enjoyed the Duro also - though it is rather messier than Blando. I love that I can get it for DH's birthday from igourmet, it's only available in the one local cuban market at christmas-time.

I have been a turron "addict" since childhood. The hard (duro) turron is better for younger teeth, nevertheless, I chew carefully to avoid problems and because I can't give up something with such wonderful taste and texture.
