Dark Chocolate Coated Marzipan – The sweetness of this marzipan, made with almonds and shaped into loaves, is offset by the richness of the dark chocolate coating, working together beautifully to create a balanced dessert. Germany has its own set of ‘marzipan laws’ that ensure the result is a German marzipan, one that focuses on the richness of the almonds in the paste instead of adding too much sugar.
