Time 55m

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 5

12 dried Turkish apricots
12 pieces (each 1/4 by 1/2 inch) dark chocolate
4 ounces marzipan
1 large egg white, beaten
Colored sanding sugars

Steps:

  • With a paring knife, make a 1/2-inch-wide pocket on side of each apricot. Stuff each with chocolate. Pinch off 1-teaspoon pieces of marzipan; flatten with your fingers to about 1/8 inch thick. Wrap each around an apricot, molding to adhere until fully covered in an egg shape (pinch off excess, if needed).
  • With a small brush, lightly coat marzipan eggs with egg white; roll in sugar. Transfer to a plate; let stand 30 minutes. Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 2 weeks.

The sugar coating on these eggs is too thick. It's hard to bite through.

I had a hard time shaping the marzipan into eggs. They kept falling apart.

I'm not a big fan of marzipan, but these eggs were surprisingly good. The sugar coating really balances out the sweetness of the marzipan.

I made these eggs with my kids and we had a great time. The marzipan was a little sticky, but we managed to shape it into eggs. The sugar coating was a bit messy, but it was worth it in the end. The eggs turned out beautiful and tasted delicious.
