Instructions

Color the Marzipan: In a mixing bowl, combine 200 grams of marzipan with a few drops of food coloring. Knead gently until the color is evenly distributed throughout the marzipan.
Shape the Marzipan: Roll the colored marzipan into small balls or kiss-like shapes about 2.5 cm in diameter each to form approximately 20 pieces.
Melt the Chocolate: Place 150 grams of dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in short 20-second bursts, stirring between intervals until the chocolate is completely smooth. If too thick, stir in 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil to achieve a thinner consistency.
Dip the Marzipan: Using a fork, dip each marzipan shape into the melted chocolate, fully coating them. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Add Decorations: While the chocolate coating is still wet, sprinkle decorative toppings such as sprinkles or edible glitter onto each piece to add a festive touch.
Set the Chocolate: Let the chocolate-covered marzipan set at room temperature for about 30 minutes. For faster results, place them in the refrigerator for 15 minutes until completely firm.
Serve and Store: Once set, your Fairy Kisses are ready to be served. Enjoy immediately or store them in an airtight container for later consumption.

Notes

Use good quality dark chocolate for best flavor and smooth coating.
If you prefer different colors, divide the marzipan before coloring to create multicolored Fairy Kisses.
To speed up chocolate melting, stir frequently and avoid overheating to prevent burning.
Store finished Fairy Kisses in a cool place away from direct sunlight to maintain texture and flavor.
Vegetable oil is optional but helps achieve a glossy, smooth chocolate coating.
