Today, I want to show you how easy it is to make some homemade snacks, starting with my quick & easy almond marzipan horns. They’re delicious for tea-time or with some coffee, in the morning or the afternoon. Basically, they’re perfect for any time of the day.
I recommend using only “real” marzipan, as some can be way too sugary. Per guidelines, it shouldn’t include more than 35% of sugar. I normally use this one, from Rapunzel, and I am very happy with it. I also use the chocolate coating from Rapunzel. The company follows some of the toughest organic certificates, so I prefer to spend a little bit more money, for better quality. And yes, you might have guessed it already, I use the coconut palm sugar from Rapunzel as well. You can find it here.
