Answer 1

Chocolate Covered Marzipan Hearts
It doesn't have to be Valentine's Day to surprise your loved ones with these
delicious confections.
Yield:
8-12 depending on size of cookie cutter
Time:
10 minutes to roll out
10 minutes to coat with chocolate
20 minutes total time
Ingredients: In the
Baking
Aisle 1 box (7 oz. ) Odense Marzipan Powdered sugar for dusting or wax paper
4 oz good quality semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped into small
pieces 2 tsp shortening (not butter) Optional: Assorted sprinkles or candy
decorations
Equipment:
1.5" or 2" heart shaped cookie cutter Rolling pin Double boiler or saucepan
with bowl Wire rack

Directions:
1 Flatten marzipan and roll out to a 1/4 inch thickness on a counter
that has been lightly dusted with powdered sugar, or between wax paper.
2 Cut out hearts and gently transfer to a wire rack. Tip: A sheet of
wax paper or foil under the rack makes for easy clean up.
3 Add chocolate pieces and shortening to top pan of double boiler (or
in a stainless steel bowl set on top of a saucepan) over hot, not boiling
water. Stirring occasionally, melt until smooth. A heat resistant spatula
(never metal) is a good tool for this step. Be careful that chocolate does
not come in contact with even a drop of water.
4 Pour hot chocolate over hearts, smoothing to edges. A dry, clean
paintbrush dipped in chocolate can help fill in any sides that do not get
covered. Decorate with sprinkles of choice and allow to dry completely.
Note: Some silver dots are non-edible, check box for instructions.



VALENTINE MERINGUE KISSES
4 large egg whites warmed to room temperature
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup plus sugar
1/2 teaspoon almond or vanilla extract
red liquid food coloring, 3 to 4 drops - optional
Valentine candy sprinkles - optional
Preheat oven to 225 F degrees. Cover a two baking sheets with parchment
paper, securing with masking tape if necessary.

Place egg whites in large copper or stainless steel bowl and beat with
a mixer at medium speed until foamy then add cream of tartar and salt.
As soon as whites reach soft peak stage gradually add sugar to egg
whites, 1 tablespoon at a time beating at high speed until stiff glossy
peaks form and meringue feels smooth when rubbed between your fingers.
(You know that the meringue has reached the stiff peak stage when you lift
the beaters out of the mixture and the egg whites are shinny, firm and
stand up.) Beat in vanilla or almond extract and food coloring if
using, just until combined. Don't over beat mixture or cookies will be flat.

Spoon mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch round or star tip.
You can also use a large zip top plastic bag with one corner snipped
off to form 1/2 -inch opening. Pipe 40 2-inch round mounds at least 1/4 inch
apart onto prepared baking sheets. If desired sprinkle with colored
valentine candy sprinkles.

Bake at 225 F degrees for 1 1/2 hours. Turn oven off and cool meringues
in closed oven for 1 hour. Remove from oven and carefully remove cookies
from paper. Store cookies for up to 1 week in an airtight container in
a cool location.
