Marzipan Kartoffeln

Little marzipan balls dusted with cocoa resemble tiny potatoes.
Prep Time 20 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Servings: 20 pieces

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz marzipan
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon

Method
 

  1. Knead the marzipan with the powdered sugar until smooth and pliable.
  2. Pinch off small pieces and roll each into a slightly irregular oval, like a little potato.
  3. Stir the cocoa powder and cinnamon together in a shallow bowl.
  4. Roll each marzipan potato in the cocoa mixture until fully and evenly coated.
  5. Press a few tiny dimples into each one with a toothpick so they look like real potatoes, then chill until firm.

Notes

Store them in a tin in a cool spot so they keep their shape.
