Ingredients

8 ounces almond paste
2 cups confectioners' sugar
0.25 cup corn syrup
3 drops any color food coloring

Instructions

In a medium bowl, break almond paste into small pieces. Add 1 cup of confectioners' sugar and mix with your hands until well combined, resulting in a crumbly texture. Incorporate another 3/4 cup of sugar thoroughly. Pour in corn syrup and mix until evenly blended. Spread the remaining sugar on a clean surface and knead the dough until smooth and uniform for 3 to 5 minutes. If the dough is too sticky, add more sugar while kneading. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 1 hour, until it reaches a modeling dough consistency.
To color the marzipan, break off small pieces and knead in your desired food coloring until the color is consistent. Blend the colored pieces into larger portions of dough. Dust a work surface and rolling pin with confectioners' sugar. Roll the dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Use small cookie cutters to cut out your desired candy shapes.
