What is Marzipan Praline?
Marzipan Praline is a small confection made from sweet almond paste shaped into a piece and coated in chocolate. Marzipan sweets have a long-standing place in European confectionery, with versions varying in shape and chocolate coating.
The centre is smooth, dense and distinctly almond-flavoured, while the chocolate adds a firmer outer layer. It is usually enjoyed as an occasional sweet, with coffee or tea, or offered in a box of chocolates; a small piece is often enough after a meal. It is rich in sugar and fat, so keep the portion modest if you want a lighter treat, and pair it with unsweetened coffee or tea.
