This is a little assortment of sweets that require no cooking. I had a bit of marzipan leftover after making the Marzipan Pear Cake so I thought I'd use it up. I softened the dried figs by soaking them in water for a few mintues and then made little marzipan pryamids to stuff inside. With the remaining marzipan, I rolled out a rope and made indentations with the round end of a spoon. They look great cut into 1" pieces sitting inside gold edged paper cups. The dates are simply split, pitted and filled with a walnut half. I did have some leftover melted carob chips so I dipped the ends of the dried apricots (not pictured). This is a simple way to offer guests a taste of the Holy Land.
