"Marzipan is a sweet almond and sugar paste used for candy making. This basic cooked marzipan recipe is easy to work with and mold into candies and can also be easily tinted with food color to use as decorations on cakes or cupcakes. This marzipan recipe tastes absolutely delicious and can be eaten as is, or formed into small candies, or made into treats such as wrapping around nuts or dried fruits, and dipping into chocolate. Marzipan is also commonly rolled out and used to cover cakes or fruitcakes.  This recipe makes about 2 pounds of marzipan, but you can easily cut the recipe in half for smaller projects. A food processor or mini grinder is an easy way to process almonds until they are finely ground..."
