Almond Paste: mixture derived from blanched almonds that are ground, blended with sugar and glycerin, and cooked together to form a stiffened paste.
Almond Butter:
The fats in almond butter can cause it to go rancid, so it should be kept in a cool dry place until it is opened, and refrigerated after that. Almond butter is grittier and more expensive than peanut butter, but it can substitute for peanut butter in many recipes.

Almond butter is often substituted for peanut butter and has a different level of fat and consistency than almond paste. Use almond paste for your marzipan.
