💡 Tips & Tricks

To make marbled balls, roughly press both marzipan colors together, but do not knead them too much.
Place in pretty paper cases - ideal as a souvenir or Advent treat.
Instead of almonds, pistachios or dried cherries in the core also work.

Can I also use homemade marzipan?

Yes! Simply finely chop blanched almonds with maple syrup and a little rose water in a blender. The finer you mix, the better the texture will be.

How intense does the matcha taste?

Our HEALTHBAR Matcha Brings a pleasantly tart freshness that goes perfectly with the sweetness of the marzipan - not too dominant, but just right for real matcha fans.

Can I freeze the chocolates?

Yes, but only without a chocolate coating - this way the consistency remains optimal. Simply let it thaw at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.

What is the best way to store the chocolates?

They will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks. Ideal: in a metal tin with layers of baking paper in between.

Is there a suitable drinking recommendation?

Yes - a classic Matcha Latte or our Dirty Matcha goes perfectly with it, as does a slightly bitter espresso as a contrast.
