Easy Marzipan Strawberries

1 (8-ounce) can almond paste
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/3 cup marshmallow creme
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Few drops red food color
Few drops green food color

1. Cover tray with wax paper.
2. Crumble almond paste into small pieces in a medium bowl. Using a heavy spoon, beat in corn syrup and marshmallow creme.
3. Gradually knead the powdered sugar into the almond paste mixture until smooth. Cover to keep moist for shaping.
4. Reserve 1/4 cup dough; shape remaining dough into strawberries. Roll over a grater to make a textured surface.
5. Using fine brush, tint berries with red food color diluted with water; place on prepared tray.
6. Using lightly cornstarch-dusted cutting board, roll reserved dough 1/8-inch thick; cut tiny stars for each berry.
7. Using fine brush, tint stars with green food color diluted with water; press onto large end of each berry. Let dry on tray.

Makes about 2 1/2 dozen candies.

Cook's Tip: Look for inexpensive small paint brushes at your local dollar store.
