1 oz Semisweet chocolate
4 oz Marizpan
1    Egg white
Peppermint extract

Melt semisweet chocolate in a bowl or top of a double boiler set over
a pan of shimmering water. Gradually add chocolate to marzipan and
knead well. If marzipan becomes dry, add 1 to 2 teaspoons of egg
white. Flavor with a few drops of peppermint extract. (Note: I use
Creme de Cocoa instead)
