marzipan fruits

Almond paste produce

Marzipan fruits are small confections made from marzipan—a paste of ground almonds, sugar, and egg whites—molded and painted to resemble miniature fruits.

They're traditional holiday treats and gifts in many European countries, prized for their realistic appearance and sweet almond flavor: a box of marzipan fruits from the Christmas market.
