If you are marzipan fans then you are in for a treat today. They are sooooo simple and so much fun to make too.
Traditionally marzipan is made with blanched almonds, but I also tried using unblanched ones to a very good effect. The taste is a bit more pronounced, especially if you toast them lightly on a dry pan before grinding them into an almond meal and the resulting marzipan paste has little brown specks in it but that’s hardly a problem. Unfortunately, they disappeared so quickly that I didn’t manage to take a photo. Delight chocolate-lovers with these homemade marzipan and chocolate truffles that are so easy to make. Decorate with chopped pistachios, coconut or edible glitter for a wonderfully festive treat.
