Donuts Are Yummy

Today marks the 2009 National Donut Day here in the United States. With children, adults, and sweet-tooths of all ages celebrating coast-to-coast, one has to wonder if such a day is needed with a growing obesity problem? However, one cannot deny the sheer goodness flowing from the doors of Krispy Kreme and Dunkin’ Donut shops across the nation. National Donut Day, if celebrated in moderation, can be something most everyone can be happy for.

Chocolate Covered Marzipan Bar

Candy — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 03:21:53 +0000

This marzipan originates from the Orient, where this almond-sugar delicacy was served at the sultan’s table to crown the meal. This sweet specialty reached Spain and Portugal, and was introduced to Europe via the trading center of Venice during the crusades.

At the beginning of its history, marzipan was produced by pharmacists, and was reputed as being a medical cure, well into the 18th century. In the 14th century, marzipan became a dessert on the noblest dinner tables, and served as a luxury gift for the Empire’s highest dignitaries. Following the discovery of the New World and the worldwide cultivation of sugar cane, Europe benefited from easier access to sugar than ever before. As a result, confectioners took over the production of marzipan. Lubeck, Germany is universally known for its superior chocolate covered marzipan. We offer to all marzipan fans the ultimate delight- a shimmering red-wrapped bar of marzipan enrobed in chocolate.

This Chocolate Covered Marzipan Bar is $9.99.

Classic Marzipan Shaped Like Fruit – 4 Assorted Pieces

Candy — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 02:41:13 +0000

This marzipan set is classic marzipan which originated in Europe. It is difficult to find marzipan in most US cities and are sometimes easier found around Christmas. I absolutely love this treat! If you have never tried it, it is a must tonight!

Marzipan is a classic European sweet made from 2 ingredients – pure sugar and the finest almonds. Some say marzipan originated in Italy several centuries ago during a major drought, when the only substantial crop to survive was the almond crop. People found all kinds of ways to prepare almonds; marzipan was created. Germans adopted this recipe and created the finest marzipan in Lubeck using the best Mediterranean almonds, sugar, and the precise roasting temperature. Our Belgian marzipan is made according to the original Lubecker method to create a sweet, pliable mixture shaped in the traditional shapes of apples and oranges. A perfect holiday treat.

This marzipan is the real deal and runs at $10.99.
