This is just in case if you have ever wondered about the chocolate-covered cubes decorating the supermarket shelves. These simple pralines are part of the seasonal section, indicating that Christmas is just around the corner – from the marketing viewpoint only. They are called Dominosteine, just like the Domino game.
But this kind here is much yummier. These Domino pralines are filled with three layers of Lebkuchen, jelly, and marzipan.
I have cut one open for you to get a good luck at its heavenly inner life.
None of my foreign friends and acquaintances had ever tasted them before, hence the reason for this post. Most really liked it, even though the taste of marzipan can be rather sweet by itself.
Once, during my two-year stay in the U.S.A., I really got desperate for marzipan and learned how to make it myself. Just mix the right amount of powdered almonds, powdered sugar, and warm water. Voilà! You’ve got homemade marzipan.
To hear a simple explanation and a short discussion of Dominosteine in German, listen to our podcast.
And no – this is not paid advertising. I just really love them and hope you enjoy them, too.
