Toasted Marzipan by Bergen Marzipan

Updated 12/12/24:Ok it’s back to fresh and soft candy again. So I put the stars from 3 back to 5, next month it will most likely move back to 2 or 3. If you read the 1 star reviews, people are still buying rock hard stale candy. I’d be willing to pay more for a vacuumed sealed glass jar of their candy. Their problem seems to be the crappy cardboard box and clear plastic top along with a loose plastic wrap.Stale candy, again10/26/24. It’s really a hit and miss with this company. Now it’s rock like again. Box says good until Feb, 6, 2025. No way it will make it to that date. They need to find a better packing and seal method. Maybe vacuum packing it? This candy is too expensive to keep buying it in a rock form.Old:First attempt had a cut box, but Thank You Amazon for refunding when they say no returns for candy.Updated 8/9/24:Normally this fresh and soft, one of my favorite candies. Arrived hard as a rock again. This time the Lid was NOT cut open! So no excuse. Unfortunately, I bought 2 boxes. These are so hard you’ll break a tooth. I'm finding if I put whole piece in mouth for a second or 2, it softens up and no stale taste. It came fully wrapped. Maybe the manufacturer isn’t wrapping fast as they should or it’s kept in a very low humidity storage.Quality control is garbage. Best but date is 12/16/24. Maybe if I buy right from the do and cut out the middleman. You know who. LOLUpdated 10/3/24Back to 5 stars! Just reordered again and it’s very soft and fresh. The company did respond to my neg review of rock hard candy and refunded my bad orders. So they do care and will fix the problems. I’ll be buying a lot more! This is the best! The new Pic shows I’m eating it quickly. LOL

Perfect flavor and texture!! I will definitely be buying more!

These have a nice texture and toasted flavor.

Tastes like fake almond extract. And stale. Very very stale.

My father is from Germany and has always loved marzipan so we've always had it around on holidays. Bergen is one brand that my Omi would get us and I remember it always being soft, very fresh with just the right amount of moisture in the middle. I got these as a last minute "add-on" Father's Day gift and, for the price, they aren't bad but for a gift they aren't worth it. I found them to be a bit dry and the outside wasn't as soft as it should be. The flavor is still almond with a liquor-like background but it has a hint of woodsiness, which I believe to be caused by them being stale or near stale. I won't give up on the brand, "Bergen," but I would try another seller.

Awesome! Looks good and tastes great ! Thanks Amazon!RADHARADHA DIVAKARAN

Was a unique treat for guests that wasn't candy or cake. People seemed to enjoy them and made for interesting conversation.

I'm really surprised by all the positive reviews on this toasted marzipan. This stuff is really dry and sweet, almost like eating sugar cubes with the texture of a dried up coconut paste. It's much sweeter and harder than marzipan potatoes, or even the stuff you find in chocolate. I had two pieces and although it's a decent sugary snack, it doesn't have that almondy honey marzipan taste. It just tastes like sugar. And the consistency is just a bit weird - maybe I got a stale batch? But the expiration date is well in the future, so not sure.
