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.
