Comfits are confectionery consisting of dried fruits, nuts, seeds or spices coated with sugar candy, often through sugar panning.

Almond comfits (also known as sugared almonds or Jordan almonds) in a muslin bag or other decorative container are a traditional gift at baptism and wedding celebrations in many countries of Europe and the Middle East, a custom which has spread to other countries such as Australia and Puerto Rico.

Licorice comfits (sometimes sold as torpedoes) [1] are typically multi-colored, while almond comfits are usually white for weddings and may be brightly colored for other occasions.

A late medieval recipe for comfits[2] is based on anise seeds, and suggests also making comfits with fennel, caraway, coriander, and diced ginger.
