The predecessors of little floral cachous were used by court ladies as breath-fresheners. |
Crowded onto this, alongside gleaming brass scales and weights, were even more jars of sweets, a cornucopia of fruit drops, cachous, sherbet-dips, cinder toffee and so forth. |
The cachous are small pastilles of pure oriental licorice which encourage good health and digestion. |
Using a fork, dip the balls into the chocolate, place onto a baking tray lined with non-stick baking paper and decorate each one with cachous. |
