marzipan eggs

Sweet almond ovals

Marzipan eggs are egg-shaped confections made from marzipan—a sweet paste of ground almonds, sugar, and sometimes egg whites.

They appear most often as Easter treats, frequently decorated with colored icing or wrapped in foil: The children found marzipan eggs hidden in the garden.

Like other marzipan shapes, they showcase the paste's ability to be molded into decorative forms.
