It’s the first of December guys, Christmas will be here soon. Have you started planning your Christmas menu? Gifts?
I am currently nursing two sick babies. The change of weather has given them both a server cold. One may be able to go to school tomorrow but Aadi is definitely staying home. Next week is also the festival of Hanukah which means kids will be on vacation from school.
I’m keeping my fingers crossed that they will feel better and I will be able to share with you all the Christmas recipes that I have planned this year.
So, here I am sharing another truffle recipe with you today? This one is marzipan again. Yes, this is made with chocolate marzipan and guess what these are easier than the other truffles I shared a few weeks ago. These are as simple as roll homemade chocolate marzipan into balls and coat them into a cocoa mixture.
These would be perfect to give family and friends as edible Christmas gifts. If you have never made marzipan at home you must try. It takes five minutes to make marzipan. Marzipan is just two main ingredients powdered sugar and almond meal. Traditionally egg whites were used to combine the two into a dough but these days we just use sugar syrup or water.

Let’s talk ingredients or substitutes (Save/Pin)
- Marzipan – I’m using homemade chocolate marzipan made with almonds today. Feel free to use store-bought marzipan just as well. or make these with classic almond flavored marzipan as well. I made and share it with you a few weeks ago, remember? You can find that recipe and video here.
- Chocolate coated nuts – Who doesn’t like little surprises inside the truffle. Use any nuts, raisins or fruit coated in chocolate. Today I have hazelnut coated nuts.
- Cocoa Powder mixture – Unlike the other two truffles, I tried to keep these simple by just coating them in a mixture of powdered sugar and cocoa powder.
