Forget chocolate, if you really want to flaunt your gift-giving savior faire it’s all about marzipan. I love the stuff. Whether it’s marzipan fruits or marzipan babies (after the jump) delight your lady with these and she’s sure to be impressed. Then tell her how the malleable almond-based confections date back to medieval times and were presented to the king and queen’s guests after a banquet feast. (Trivia is sexy!)
Normally these are served around the holidays but the little fruits are pretty irresistable year-round.
