These two sweet balls simply belong to Christmas. They are quick, effective and everyone asks for them every year. The “Zerbó” balls are reminiscent of the taste of a traditional cake with apricot jam, nuts and chocolate, while the poppy seed balls with marzipan have a delicate, festive taste that everyone will love.

Melt the dark chocolate over steam, add the oil and dip the balls in it. Place them on baking paper and leave to harden.
