Marias and Mike's both have it...but i don't want to fight the parking in the North End.

You can buy plain marzipan all over. I know the Stop & Shop on Watertown St has it.

A few favorites: - Cardullos in Harvard Square has a fairly large marzipan selection. - Right around the corner from Cardullos is LA Burdick. Although chocolate is their specialty (notably their delicious signature chocolate mice), they make very good marzipan candy as well. - The Danish Pastry House in Medford puts marzipan in seemingly half of their confections. They are all beautiful to look at; taste varies from great to meh. I don't specifically recall them carrying plain old marzipan candy per se, but it certainly wouldn't surprise me.

Fri Nov 10 15:58:45 -0800 2006 2007330 16490 Bostonbob3 1 2011317 I have had incredibly good mail-order marzipan. The Vermont Country store has a number of varieties (bet the varieties expand during the holidays, too) and excellent service. You pay for the luxury of click-and-point, but the result is excellent. On the other hand, you might want an excuse to go to a candy shop and I wouldnt blame you!

Out in the 'burbs, Furlong's Candy on Route 1 in Norwood has a big Marzipan assortment. Cute little shop too. Fri Nov 10 18:22:50 -0800 2006 2007330 12647 JudyHP 1 2013386 I think the marzipan candies at Fastachi, (Mt. Auburn St. in Watertown) are some of the most delicious I have ever tasted. I believe they are made in Belgium for Nirvana. Fastachi also sells their own (wonderful) roasted nuts and lots of fine chocolates, Belgian as well as others.
