Homemade Marzipan Candies Dipped in Chocolate

These homemade marzipan candies dipped in chocolate are perfect for holiday or family tables, or can be given as small presents to your guests.

I’ve always wanted to make my own marzipan. I really love the taste of marzipan, it is one of my favorites, especially if combined with dark chocolate.

Finally, I was able to make it at home and I will definitely make them again. It does take a little time but worth all the effort if you are a marzipan lover.
