Chocolate covered marzipan

When you have someone who loves chocolate and loves marzipan, this is probably the best thing to make them. Marzipan is a sticky and tricky mixture to make, but when you finally have the consistency down, you have quite a bit of workable candy. I made use of some great cookie cutters that I had gotten for Christmas, and voila...a nice romantic plate of treats as a delicious welcome home snack.

The chocolate was not only festive and delicious but it sealed in the moisture of the marzipan so that it kept for quite some time. Although in this case, the plate was finished off pretty quickly.

It's a shame that I don't really like marzipan all that much.
