Bethmännchen

Bethmännchen is a type of sweet dessert originating from Germany that is shaped like a little ball or dumpling. These treats are typically made from marzipan, which is made from ground almonds and sugar. The marzipan is formed into a little ball and then topped with a roasted almond. The name "Bethmännchen" comes from the name of a prominent Frankfurt family, whose coat of arms features three acorns, which are represented by the three almonds on each bethmännchen. These little treats are often enjoyed during Christmas time in Germany and are a sweet and tasty treat that you can enjoy any time of year!
