Hi, tried these in a veganised version and they we're quite lovely, at least the first day, until the flavour faded... one question, how much is 'a shot' in your measurements? I used 40 ml (a normal shot glass) and it was faaaaaaaar too much. i had to use i don't know how much icing sugar and the end product was disgustingly sweet... Any thoughts? Thanks anyway for a great recipe!

Just tried this recipe, and even if I managed to form pretty nougat balls by storing the nougat in the fridge and using ice to cool my hands while forming them, I had more problems with the marcipan - it was so sticky that it was a real challenge working with it.

Did I use too much Kirschwater or is marcipan just always that sticky? In the end, I used some icing sugar on the plate and on my hands to form the balls, but I still wonder if I did something wrong with the dough in the first place...

EDIT Nicky: Dear Karoline, I would suppose it was a tad too much Kirsch, if that happens to me I usually just add more confectioners sugar, until the dough is workable again.

Hi Nicky, I just stumbled across your site and saw the recipe for Mozartkugeln. These are my mother's favorite and they are hard to find in the US. I can't wait to try my hand at them and hopefully impress my mother while I'm at it. I love your blog!

Hi Nita,
I had a look at your links. I definitely used the first sort of nougat, almost shaped like a block. Just cut it in about 36 smaller pieces and start getting your hands messy. The warmer your hands get the more nougat sticks to them while trying to form little balls...
