When my mother was a child, my grandmother would make this as a substitute for expensive store-bought marzipan. I've since added the melted chocolate, which gives it more richness. Betty Hartigan, Calgary, Alberta Ingredients:
1/2 cup mashed potatoes (prepared without milk and butter) |
2 cups whole blanched almonds, finely ground |
2 cups confectioners' sugar |
1 tablespoon baking cocoa |
1 teaspoon almond extract |
2/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips, melted |
additional confectioners' sugar or ground almonds |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, almonds, sugar, cocoa and almond extract; mix well. Add melted chips and stir well. Cover and refrigerate for several hours. Shape teaspoonfuls into balls; roll in sugar or almonds. Yield: about 5 dozen.
