As a small holiday gift, here is a recipe from my cookbook. It appears in the mignardise chapter, which collects sweet little bites to serve at the end of a meal — instead of, or alongside, dessert, and perfect with coffee or tea.
These treats-on-a-stick begin with an easy homemade hazelnut marzipan: grind toasted hazelnuts with confectioner’s sugar and a touch of honey, shape the paste into small balls, then dip them in chocolate. They’re fun to assemble and make a charming finish to a festive menu. They’re also handy to nibble while decorating, wrapping gifts, or curled up with a warm drink and a good book. The recipe follows below.
