Method
- Cut the marzipan into 12 equal pieces, then roll into balls. Transfer to a wire rack and place a sheet of baking paper underneath.
- Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of just-simmering water. Spoon the melted chocolate over the balls so they are covered.
- Top with desiccated coconut, chopped pistachios, cocoa powder or gold edible glitter. Transfer to the fridge (on the rack) for 10 mins or until set. Will keep for up to 1 week in a cool place.
