MARZIPAN CANDY 
1 lb. almond paste
1/3 c. light corn syrup
1 jar marshmallow topping (1 pt.)
2 tsp. vanilla
6 c. confectioners' sugar, sifted
Food coloring

Combine almond paste, corn syrup, marshmallow topping and vanilla; mix thoroughly. Add sugar, 1 cup at a time and mixing well after each addition. (Knead in the last 2 or 3 cups with hands until marzipan is satiny.) Mold small pieces into fruit and vegetable shapes. Insert artificial leaves where needed while the marzipan is soft. Let stand several hours before coloring. Paint with food coloring. Dilute when necessary, using artist brushes. (Roll strawberries and raspberries in red sugar after painting.)
