How To Make Chocolate-Dipped Mini Marzipan Bars - Recipe

These are a great Valentine’s Day gift. Homemade chocolates say so much more on Valentine’s Day than storebought - they show you really care.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz (170g) almonds (preferably blanched)
1 egg white
2 tbsp Amaretto liqueur
1/2 tsp almond extract
5-6 oz (140-170g) dark chocolate, pieces
DIRECTIONS
1. In a food processor, pulse the almonds until close to a flour consistency.
2. With processor running, add egg white, Amaretto, and extract.
3. While pulsing the processor, add portions of the icing sugar - until the resulting paste is moldable.
4. Transfer to a bowl and knead the mixture well. Form into small bars and place on cooking paper.
5. In a double boiler, gently melt the chocolate. DO NOT overheat. DO NOT let any water get into the chocolate.
6. Dip half of each marzipan bar into the chocolate, shake off excess, and set on cooking paper to cool.

Great idea! And using the leftover chocolate for fruit/ginger is perfect! Thank you! 😋💞

[@KumasKitchen]

Ended up with a whole bunch of chocolate coated ginger.

"Homemade chocolates say so much more..." Couldn't agree more Lord Kevin. 😉 Cheers 🍻

[@KumasKitchen]

You got that right, Sir Newton.

Sugoi oishsou desu! I really like the candied ginger inclusion too 😋💜💜

[@KumasKitchen]

I was snacking on those for days after.

[@REVIEWSONTHERUN]

Interesting! Cool recipe. Thanks for sharing it ✌️

You are welcome, Reviews.

I never considered making my own marzipan, something i adore, so thankful for this recipe Kevin!

[@KumasKitchen]

I hadn't either, but necessity is the mother of invention.

[@jason_from_canada]

Making chocolates is in your Swiss DNA Kevin. I liked getting marzipan and the candied ginger from Purdy's too. I also got chocolates from the Thomson Park mall in Kamloops too when we'd visit family up there in the summers. 🍫😋👍

[@KumasKitchen]

Is there still Purdy's? I'd love to visit one the next time I get to Canada.

[@jason_from_canada]

@@KumasKitchen Yes Purdy's are still around.

I saw something about Chiefs winning SB on the monitor in our elevator. Otherwise, I know nothing more.
