Ingredients
7 ounces marzipan, depending on size of figs
Brown food coloring
30 dried Calimyrna figs
Preparation
Place marzipan in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add food coloring, a drop at a time, beating until desired shade is reached.
Keeping marzipan wrapped in plastic while working, roll a teaspoon of marzipan into a small ball. Flatten in your hand; using a toothpick, make a hole in center. Insert fig stem into hole; mold marzipan around top of fig. Roll marzipan firmly against the small holes of a box grater to make dimples. Repeat with remaining marzipan and figs.
