bittersweet chocolate, nuts, dried fruits
A mendiant is a traditional French confection composed of a chocolate disk studded with nuts and dried fruits representing the four mendicant.[1] Each of the ingredients used refers to the color of monastic robes. Tradition dictates that raisins stand for the Augustinians, hazelnut for the Carmelites, dried fig for the Franciscans, and almond for the Dominicans.[2]
They are usually produced during Christmas.[3] The recipes for this confection have diverged from the traditional combination of nuts and fruits to incorporate seeds, fruit peels, and other items.[4][5]
