Marzipan-Filled Dates
Ingredients
- 1- 7 oz box Odense Marzipan or Almond Paste*
- 20 pitted dates, split down the middle
- 1/2 cup raisins marinated overnight in 1 tablespoon rum
- 1 cup melted coating chocolate
- 1 cup melted white coating chocolate
- *Marzipan will be sweeter than Almond Paste, but either can be used.
In this recipe we coat the dates with chocolate, but they are still delicious without that extra step.
