ingredients:

• almond mush
• almonds
• 80 g marzipan
• 1 black chocolate with high level of cacao
• silver pearls

recipe:

1.) Knead marzipan with 1-2 tbsp almond mush. This is for more almond flavor and less sweetness. Depending by adding more or less almonds. If you like you can also add rum flavoring , orange juice or brandy, as long as the ground does not become too much liquid.

2.) Pluck pieces from this mass and flatten them, embedding an almond in the middle and form into an oval.

 

3.) Now  break the chocolate into pieces and melt it slowly in small bowl over boiling water .

4.) Then dip the beetle body into liquid chocolate, with a small fork is it very easy .
