Ingredients
- 1 batch marzipan (can use 10 oz store-bought marzipan)
- 12 oz tempered chocolate, for dipping
- 2 tbsp finely chopped roasted salted almonds
Instructions
- Divide the marzipan into 15-gram portions (or a generous teaspoon). Roll into smooth balls and set aside.
- Temper chocolate in a large glass bowl. Use a chocolate dipping fork to fully submerge the marzipan in chocolate, then raise the fork and tap 3-5 times to let excess chocolate drip off. Scrape the bottom of the fork against the bowl to remove more chocolate, then slide the truffle onto prepared baking sheet.
- Let sit 10- 15 seconds, then sprinkle with chopped almonds. Repeat dipping and garnishing the remaining marzipan. The tempered chocolate will continue to crystallize and harden over the next few days. Store in a cool, dry place.
