Christmas Calendar 2016 - Marzipan with liquorice and orange

Christmas is getting closer, and so are the guests, which I have invited for Christmas evening coffee, so I need to make some more marzipan sweet treats. This time I am using an recipe from a special Christmas feature from the weekly magazine "Søndag".

Marzipan with liquorice and orange: - 16 pieces

• 2 organic oranges - only the zest
• 200 g marzipan
• 1½ teaspoon liquorice powder
• 20 g unsalted pistachio kernels - medium chopped
• 125 g white chocolate

1. Knead the marzipan, orange zest and liquorice powder together.
2. Shape the marzipan in a thin roll, which is cut into 16 pieces.
3. Store the marzipan pieces cold for 2-4 hours.
4. Temper the white chocolate.
5. Cover the marzipan pieces in the melted white chocolate.
6. Sprinkle the marzipan pieces with chopped pistachio.
7. Lets the chocolate dry, before the liquorice-orange marzipan sweet treat is stored in air tight containers for later use.
