**Ingredients:**
– 1 7-ounce package of marzipan
– 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
– 1 tablespoon coconut oil
– Assorted toppings (optional): chopped nuts, shredded coconut, colorful sprinkles
**Instructions:**
1. Start by preparing a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to place the finished Marzipan Balls on.
2. Divide the marzipan into small portions and roll each portion into smooth balls about 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate them for about 30 minutes to firm up.
3. In the meantime, create a double boiler by placing a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water. Add the chocolate chips and coconut oil to the bowl. Stir occasionally until the chocolate is smooth and completely melted.
4. Remove the marzipan balls from the refrigerator. Using a toothpick or fork, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
5. Place the dipped Marzipan Balls back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. If desired, sprinkle the tops with your favorite toppings while the chocolate is still wet.
6. Once all the balls are dipped and decorated, refrigerate them for an additional 30 minutes or until the chocolate is set.
7. Your Chocolate Dipped Marzipan Balls are now ready to enjoy! Serve them as a sweet snack, dessert, or even package them up in a decorative box for a thoughtful homemade gift.
