Almond Paste

"What do princess cakes, amaretti cookies, and marzipan have in common? Why, almond paste of course! This unsung hero of baking and candy making adds nuttiness and depth to all sorts of baked goods and confections. High quality almond paste usually comes at a premium price point, but not at Trader Joe’s—our Almond Paste is the real deal at a really great value! Made for us in Denmark by the largest Almond Paste and marzipan manufacturer in the world, our Almond Paste contains 40% ground Almonds for maximum nuttiness—no extract necessary! The smooth Paste is sweetened until it’s just sweet enough to use in your favorite baking and candy making recipes. Then, it’s conveniently packaged into a single tube so you can use as much or as little as you need, without the nuisance of jars and unresealable packaging. Almond Paste shines when incorporated into cookies, cakes, pie crusts, and crumble toppings. Of course, you can use it to make marzipan in a jiffy (kids and adults will love shaping it into adorable figurines and dipping them in melted chocolate!). Or, add cinnamon and roll the Paste into Organic Crescent Rolls for easy breakfast pastries. Offered at an excellent value, this premium baking ingredient won’t last long on our shelves—grab a tube or two while supplies last!"
