You know the holidays are almost upon us when stores start putting out their holiday merchandise. I saw these at World Market the other day and was intrigued. Named after one of my favorite composers, these are, according to the packaging, a "deluxe confection exquisitely filled with pistachio-marzipan made from fresh green pistachios, almonds and rich hazelnut nougat, enrobed with delicious milk and bitter chocolates." They were truly delicious. I think the flavors worked together very well and the pistachio nougat center was absolutely heavenly. This is as opposed to the chocolate covered marzipan from Niederegger, where the chocolate overwhelmed the marzipan in taste, and the marzipan itself was too sugary. Anyway I wonder if there is such a thing as Chopin chocolates...
