Almond Paste

Almond paste has been compared to marzipan but it’s actually quite different. Almond paste is less sweet, coarser and used in different applications than marzipan (also referred to as almond candy dough).

Almond paste is typically used as a filling or binder in baked bars, pies and cakes to help create a chewier texture. “Chewy” is the number one texture claim among almond introductions of bars.
