Chocolate Marzipan Friands

Makes 12 Prep Time 1 minutes   Cook Time 15 minutes   Rated:

I have always loved marzipan at Christmas time. Even as a kid...which kind of makes me weird I’m pretty sure as most kids hate marzipan. My mum used to make cute little marzipan fruits and veggies and I just couldn’t resist them, so I guess that is how come I loved it from the beginning. As I have gotten older, I really now love the more bitter almond marzipan and of course I am not afraid to make it myself. So it’s up to you...for this one you can buy it or make it. Home made is quite the revelation flavour wise. Either way, these gluten free goodies are sure to be a hit at yours on any Christmixy occasion!
