Chocolate Coated Marzipan Sweets Recipe

Put the ground almonds and sugars together in a mixing bowl, then make a hole in the centre. Add the lemon juice, natural almond extract and beaten eggs into the hole. Mix it all together – I use my hands for this, massaging it all together into a smooth paste. When it has all mixed into a ball, put it onto a lightly iced board.

Roll small amounts into smooth balls; it’s probably about 1tsp for each ball, but you just need to break it off the main ball with the tips of your fingers.

Melt two 150g bars of dark Green & Black’s chocolate or Divine's dark chocolate in a bowl over a pan of boiling water. Then dip the balls into the melted chocolate and using a toothpick scooped them out and left them to dry on some baking parchment.
