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.

I like marzipan but love it dipped in dark chocolate
Ive never tried marzipans before! Now I feel like making these to find out what they taste like!
Yum! Had marzipan for the first time this spring, so good! I can only imagine how it is dipped in chocolate!
Beautiful photos! I bet they are just as delicious!
I love marzipan, but had never tried to make the chocolate dipped one at home — it’s something I should definitely try.
This looks like the best one
Hi, I made 30 chocolate coated marzipan chocolates for my husband as an extra Christmas present. They turned out fabulous and, I used 69% dark chocolate with orange bits which gave them added flavour. I am unable to attach a photo, but the recipe was so simple. I will defiantly use it again and try some different flavours to add to the marzipan, as it’s not just for Christmas
