I ordered this marzipan last Christmas, amazed by the great deal that I had found.

Unfortunately, the old addage is true: you get what you pay for.

This marzipan is made with corn syrup instead of sugar, has a low almond content, and is flavored with a hint of citrus that masks any almond flavor whatsoever. I may as well have been eating lemon-scented glue sticks.

Even more interesting is that I froze the unused marzipan in the same bag with a 'better' variety. Within three months this marzipan had taken on a freezer taste, whereas the higher grade marzipan still tastes great even one year later. They were both in the same bag together, so it can only be the ingredients themselves that didn't hold up.

I will never buy cheap marzipan again, and I have thrown out the bulk marzipan that I purchased from this company.

I purchased this for an Oktoberfest party, there was a lot left over, mostly because people were slightly intimidated or mostly really drunk. The sweet tasted nicely and were decorated in a very pretty way. I'd recommend this to anyone who doesn't want to make their own marzipan and needs to purchase a large quantity. There are several little "flats" of the candies so you can package them seperately or give a flat away to a friend easily enough.

I bought this candy as an early Valentine's/Birthday present for my husband. I realized when it arrived that 2lbs? Yeah, that's a LOT of marzipan.

Fortunately for us, it is DELICIOUS! We opened the box up right away and dove right in. The candy was finely ground, without a grainy texture we've found in some other candy. It was nicely sweet and intensely almond flavored. Even my picky two-year-old tried a piece and asked for a second.

To prolong our enjoyment of the candy, we froze two of the trays and are quickly working our way through the third.

I ordered these last Christmas to wrap up and give to my parents as a gift. The box I received was fresh and in good condition. The marzipan themselves were delicious, and there were enough for the whole family to share. I think these little gems will become a regular addition to our holiday celebration.

My grandmother used to send packages every year when I was a child and since her passing I have ordered on line for several years now. These were the best price I have been able to find .I ordered 2 boxes and couldn't wait till xmas to open one of them. They are nice and soft,not just the best price, also the freshest I have found and you get twice the number of fruits for the price. I will order from them many years to come.

This product was a great deal for the price. Ideal to split up and use as gifts for the marzipan lovers in your life (if you can restrain yourself from eating it all yourself). The candy is colorfully decorated as pieces of fruit and was very fresh. I would definitely purchase this product again.Bulk Marzipan 2lbs. 72 pcs.

I ordered this box of marzipan mainly for use as edible cake decorations for holiday desserts at the museum at which I work. These little candies are nicely sized and colored, and the almond flavor is pleasant and not too sweet. Good value for the money and delivered exceptionally quickly; I probably will be ordering from this company again, both for my own use and the museum's.

This candy is wonderful, and I will be re-ordering soon. I would encourage at the very least that if you have not ever had Marzipan this is a great time to try it. If you have had it in the past, jump in and enjoy it again.

My mother loves Marzipan and I try to get it for her every Christmas. The couple of stores that have it locally are always over priced and the quality isn't that good. I've ordered online previously but it wasn't great quality. This Marzipan is really high quality at a great price and fast shipping to boot! Highly recommended! :)

I don't consider myself a food snob by any means, but this isn't the best.

The good stuff is a pure almond-sugar paste. This has a slight almond-lemony flavor that's loaded with corn syrup, definitely isn't the real deal. I would imagine if you grew up with this, you may have a nostalgic connection to it; you may like it if you like very sugary-tasting sweets.

Personally I'll keep looking. I thought when I found it at T.J. Maxx it was a good deal but it was disappointing. Also, the fruits look dimensional through the box lid, but really they're cut in half. I'd love to be able to find someplace in the U.S. that offers the real fruit-shaped marzipan instead of these expensive substitutes. Bummer.
