I found this candy in the Hispanic section of Walmart, and oh I was in for a treat! These are marzipan candies, which I don’t think I’ve ever had before.
I really liked the box. The price at Walmart was $1.50, which seems low because you get so many.
They are individually wrapped, and when you bite into them, it is nutty crumbly goodness!!
My husband figured out the box is really a display. I wonder if I bought something meant for a store?
These were super yummy and if I see them again, I will buy them again! ❤️❤️❤️

Wow! I don’t think I’ve ever tasted those but they look good. My favorite Mexican candies are “obleas de cajeta”. Have you had them? They are made with goat’s milk caramel and they are delicious!

I hadn’t heard of them before, but I just googled them and they look interesting! I’ve never seen them before, but there’s a couple of new Hispanic/Latin markets in town that I want to visit as soon as the temperature isn’t in the negatives. Hahaha 🙂 Thanks for the tip!

You’re welcome! I discovered them then I went to Mexico in 1976 for a summer school program. 😀

Marzipan is popular in Germany too. I wonder if it’s similar to this Mexican candy.

Mmm, good question. I googled it and it says marzipan originates from Germany, Spain, and Italy, so there’s a chance it came to the Americas in that way 🙂

Oh, nice! Yeah, I learned something new today. Someone else pointed out marzipan is popular in Germany 🙂 That’s one of the places it originated from. Very cool 🙂

Marzipan – so like, crushed and sweetened almonds? Was it flavoured?
My parents are from Germany, I grew up there as a kid and I had marzipan when I was little but never liked it all that much. Yours looks quite different from the ones I used to have and I wonder what it tastes like.

It was both powdery and crumbled easily, very soft and with small peanut chunks. The soft part melted in your mouth, then you had the crunchy peanut bits.
Mostly it tasted like peanuts, but not as strongly as peanut butter. It was a very light flavor. Really very nice 🙂
And PS: wow, it sounds like you’ve lived in many parts of the world!
