Chocolate Marzipan

My parents were from Germany so I was brought up on marzipan. They always bought it at the German Import House in Detroit on Gratiot Ave. I absolutely loved it and my Dad always had a stash in his bottom dresser drawer which he would always let me get a piece for him and I. So now I know how to make this delicious treat myself!

Ingredients:

2 cups ground almond or almond flour (Trader Joes has a great price on this)
1.5 cups of powdered sugar
1 t almond extract (imitation almond flavor works well also)
1 t water
3 t rose water
1-2 cups of vegan chocolate chips

Melt the chocolate chips in a hot water bath or double boiler. Place first 5 ingredients in a food processor and process until it forms into a paste like ball. Roll the marzipan paste into balls and stick toothpicks in them. Place in the freezer for about an hour.  Grabbing the marzipan by the toothpick, dip into the melted chocolate and freeze for about another hour. These will last a month or so in the fridge.
