Jestivi pokloni 2: Pepermint mendiants i čoko marcipan / Edible gifts 2: Peppermint mendiants and Chocolate marzipan

Please scroll down for English

Još malo ideja u zadnji čas za dodatak blagdanskom stolu ili jestivi poklončići.
Mendiants -čokolada otopljena na pari pa nanešena na pek papir (ili aluminijsku foliju) u obliku kružića. Po njoj posipajte orašaste plodove, kandirano voće (đumbir, mmm) ili kao ja smrvljene pepermint bombone. Ja sam imala ovakve. Pepermint i čokolada = super kombinacija! Recept za mendiants objavila sam davno, iako se to ne može nazvati receptom, više idejom. Ostalo mi je čokolade od kolača pa sam ju iskoristila za ovo.
Ostao mi je i čitav blok marcipana (nakon što sam odustala od pravljenja stollena) pa sam ga iskoristila: razvaljajte ga između dvije ljepljive folije, ne pretanko, modlicom za kekse izrežite željeni oblik pa umočite u rastopljenu čokoladu. Čokoladu za marcipan obogatila sam fino ribanom narančinom koricom. Poklončić gotov!

Here is the last minute idea for edible gifts and addition to your Christmas cookies. I had some leftover chocolate and marzipan (I gave up on baking stollen) and used them for mendiants and marzipan dipped in chocolate.
I wrote about mendiants in this post. It's the simplest thing in the world and looks so cute: melt chocolate over double boiler (please use good quality chocolate) and spoon some on parchment paper or aluminium foil, making circles. Don't make them too thin. Sprinkle with crushed peppermint candy cane (like I did), or candied fruit, nuts etc.
For chocolate marzipan, simply roll it between two sheets of plastic wrap and cut out shapes with your cookie cutter. Don't roll it out too thin. Dip half in melted chocolate. I added some finely grated orange zest into chocolate.
