Marzipan!

A few days ago it was my mother's 44th birthday! So I decided to do something very special for her and since she likes marzipan (or almonds in general) I decided to make home made marzipan, from scratch! Now I'm sure I already told you that I love to cook or make desserts, so I was really excited to make this. Especially since I love marzipan also and we had lots of it when we lived in Germany, but the only thing was could I meet the expectations of German marzipan. So with that in mind I got all of the things I needed and made the marzipan, I then placed the marzipan in the fridge to cool a bit as I melted chocolate. I then took the marzipan out rolled some into small balls, rolled them around in chocolate, sprinkled some crushed almonds on them, and then placed them in the fridge so that the chocolate could harden!
When it came time for cake, I pulled out my surprise and had my mother test one! I am pleased to tell you that it was a big hit! My mother said it was the best marzipan she ever tasted(and she wasn't just saying it either, I would know if she was)! So yes I am very happy that I now know how to make marzipan from scratch. I even memorized it, and if anyone wants me to post it just say so in the comments!
The only thing is, I didn't get a chance to take pics! So I can't post any pictures, but thats because all the cameras dead! Also I hope it wasn't too boring to read, just let me know if it was and I'll try to explain more or make it more lively!

I am not sure if I have ever had Marzipan, but on your next visit I am willing to get all the ingredients so you can make it for us. Yum - Yum and I am sure I can find some molds for those candy bars also - another yum yum. Grandma
