One of the employees at work had a friend visiting from Germany. She brought, at his request, a delicious confectionery called Mozartkugeln. In Salzburg, Austria, the birthplace of Mozart, the candy is famous for being hand rolled into perfect round balls then packaged in the famous blue wrapper to the delight of the local residence and tourists. The Furst company started the original recipe of green pistachio marzipan inside of a layer of nougat. This is then dipped in dark chocolate and rolled into a ball. Oooh, yum! Well, other companies now make them, still delicious, and that what was brought to my employee.

What is also impressive is the packaging. Not only is the box beautiful, but look at the candies inside! Each one is wrapped then placed in the package so that Mozart’s image is facing up. Wow! You almost feel guilty eating them… almost.

Maybe I ought to sculpt a bust of Mozart and see if Furst will do a trade!
