Holiday Tri-Color Truffle Treat - Make it Vegan - Marzipan Recipe
If you don't like nuts much, you can mix milk powder with the nut powders.
During winter, I always have almond, cashew and pistachio meal/flour/powder ready bought form Trader Joe's and it makes lot more easier for me to put the recipes together.
