Marzipan Truffles

Marzipan Truffles are small marzipan balls coated in melted dark or milk chocolate, then decorated with drizzled white chocolate stripes. The process involves melting chocolate twice: first to coat the marzipan and then to create decorative stripes, resulting in bite-sized confections with a smooth, glossy chocolate exterior and a sweet almond-flavored center.

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces marzipan (click link for EASY homemade marzipan recipe!)
  • 6 ounces dark chocolate chopped (use more if needed, or milk chocolate, according to preference
  • 3 ounces white chocolate , chopped (use more if needed)
  • Note: You can also use white chocolate as the base and use dark chocolate for the stripes
  • butter optional, for a glossier chocolate coating, or coconut oil, 1 tablespoon

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Line a baking sheet (small enough to fit in the fridge) with wax paper.Chop the dark/milk chocolate into small pieces and place them in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the chocolate in 20-30 seconds at a time, stirring each time, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.  If you like a slightly glossier chocolate coating, stir in the butter or coconut oil at this point.
  2. Dip the marzipan balls into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off (you can use a dipping tool or tines of a fork) and then place them on the wax paper. Once all the marzipan balls are coated you can transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator where the chocolate will harden more quickly. 
  3. Once the chocolate has hardened follow the same procedure to melt the white chocolate. Use a spoon to drizzle stripes of white chocolate over the chocolate covered marzipan. Return the truffles to the fridge to let the white chocolate harden.  
  4. Makes about 20 truffles depending on size.
