Homemade Marzipan Candies, Vegan and Low-Carb

Put almond flour in a bowl, add sugar or powdered sweetener and mix well with a spoon.

Pour water and vanilla essence, plus other flavors if desired.

First mix the whole composition with a spoon.

Then with your hands, until it becomes like a uniform dough, soft and non-sticky - like a plasticine.

I divided this amount of marzipan into 2 bars and left them in the fridge until I had time to shape candies from them (you can work them immediately). They can be stored in the refrigerator for a month, so you can make more marzipan in time.

In addition, I noticed that after sitting in the fridge, the sugar / sweetener powder dissolves better in marzipan, so it tastes even better.

I took the first stick and cut it into cubes of about 1.5 cm.

And I modeled from them uniform and smooth balls.

Here you can put in the middle some hazelnuts / almonds, cranberries, ganache cubes, etc.

Melt the dark chocolate on a steam bath or microwave.

Pass the marzipan balls through the chocolate.

Carefully remove them with a fork and slowly shake off the excess melted chocolate.

Arrange them carefully on a tray or tray lined with baking paper. I handle them very easily if I use 2 forks.

Then put them in the fridge for 2-3 hours, or more.

They are really unexpectedly good, they surprised us and we will definitely repeat them for Christmas.

Good appetite!
