500 g marzipan
 200 g sugar
 1 pinch of salt
 3 egg whites
 100 g sliced almonds
 100 g dark chocolate
 Mix marzipan, sugar, salt and egg whites with an electric mixer
 until they are a soft mixture. Preheat oven to 175 degrees (Celsius
 temperature). Fill the mixture into a bag with a medium sized hole.
 Sprinkle the almonds onto a sheet of paper and press threads of
 the mixture out of the bag onto the almonds. Then roll the threads
 in the almonds, form them into little crescents and transfer to a
 baking sheet lined with paper. Bake them in the middle of the oven
 for 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool completely. Melt the chocolate and
 dip one or both ends of the crescents into it. Store in a container
 that is NOT completely airtight. Makes about 50.
