Marzipan Chocolates

So in Denmark we have this traditional treat called Konfekt. It's basically just marzipan that you prepare in any way you would like with different nuts, chocolate, dried fruit, or just different colors and shapes. Anything you would like!
This year my host sister, Bridgette and her friend, helped make some different figures with different colored marzipan. I made different kinds of marzipan dipped in chocolate with nuts and other stuff.





Almond squares

Ingredients:
Marzipan cutted in squares
Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Almonds

Directions:
Start with boiling the almonds. Put in a pot with boiling water, and boil for about 5 mins till the skin is wrinkling. Cool down in cold water and peel the almonds.
Melt chocolate in microwave and dip the marzipan in the chocolate and put an almond on the top. Freeze in fridge until the chocolate is set, and store in fridge.


Cereal chocolates

Ingredients: Any kind of flakes that you would like. Bran-flakes, Corn-flakes etc.
Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Raisins or cranberries

Directions: Melt the chocolate in microwave and mix all ingredients together, and fill in small paper moulds or silicone moulds as here. Freeze in fridge until chocolate is set, and store in fridge.
