Mozartkugeln were invented by Salzburg’s Fürst family in the 1890s and have enjoyed a big following throughout Europe. Interestingly enough, Mirabell got one big win out of it all, and that’s the exclusive shape . It’s the only industrial producer allowed to make Mozartkugel that’s fully round. Other industrial producers must keep at least one side of the candy flat, which is why most Mozart candies are dome-shaped. Invented in 1890 by confectioner Paul Fürst as an homage to the composer, the candy, like Mozart himself, was born in Salzburg, Austria. Fürst’s bonbons are still produced by hand in Salzburg, where the family company is now run by the fifth generation of Fürsts. fine blend of hazelnut and pistachio marzipan and coated with glossy chocolate, is one of the best ways to ever As a little extra, I wanted to tell you a bit about how the Mozart chocolate balls are made.

Note: One batch marzipan, one batch pistachio marzipan, one batch nougat, 2 cups dark chocolate wafers — this will make about 18 Mozartkugeln and you’ll have some pistachio marzipan and nougat left over. If you double the regular marzipan recipe you’ll have enough of the remaining ingredients to make around 30 Mozartkugeln.

Another difference is the shape: only the industrial (Mirabell) ones are fully round (like in my pictures). The other ones are forced to be a bit flatter.
