Ingredients
- 18 whole unblanched almonds
- 1 pkg (8 oz/200 g) marzipan
- 36 dates
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar, (optional)
Preparation
Spread almonds on baking sheet; toast in 350°F (180°C) oven, stirring once, until fragrant and golden, about 10 minutes. Let cool.
Meanwhile, divide marzipan into 36 pieces, about 1 tsp (5 mL) each. Roll each into oval. Cut each date down centre to expose pit; open gently and remove pit. Press marzipan oval into date.
Cut almonds in half and press 1 half into centre of each marzipan oval.
In shallow dish, roll each date in sugar (if using). Refrigerate for 1 hour. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate in airtight container for up to 2 weeks.)
