TRAVEL WAITS : CHOCOLATE MUSEUM SZAMOS in BUDAPEST
The Godiva of Hungary, a family owned business...
Excerpt : That's right, a chocolate museum! You'll sometimes see it described as a marzipan museum, and the confusion in understandable. Szamos has a marzipan museum and workshop in the Hungarian town of Szentrendre. Marzipan, a moldable paste of ground almonds and sugar, is nearly as common as chocolate in Budapest. It plays a key role in flavoring and decorating confections and cakes around the country and is hallmark flavor of Szamos' treats. It's unique texture makes it the perfect material to craft edible decorations, such as miniature fruits, animals, and flowers.
