For the pralines

In a bowl, knead the marzipan, icing sugar and kirsch/cherry brandy into a smooth mixture. Form approximately 20 balls by hand.

Coarsely chop the chocolate and melt in a bowl above a bain-marie. Dip the marzipan balls into the chocolate one at a time using a fork, wipe off any excess chocolate on the edge of the bowl and place the pralines on greaseproof paper.

For the topping

For the topping, finely chop the walnuts, sprinkle them over the pralines and refrigerate for approximately 30 minutes.

Tips

Tip: If you would like to give your pralines more of a square shape, simply roll out the marzipan paste between two sheets of parchment paper, which will ensure a perfectly smooth surface. Then cut the paste into squares.
