Break off a piece of marzipan the size of a peanut in a shell. I made double versions plus a few singles.

Roll the marzipan between your palms to form a log.

Use your fingers to round off the ends and pinch the log in the middle.

Use a toothpick or a fondant tool to score the marzipan peanut to give it texture. I used a real peanut as a visual guide.

Using the soft bristle brush, lightly dust the peanut with the cocoa powder.

Alternatively, dilute a few drops of brown food coloring with a few drops of water and brush with the liquid.

Let dry before serving.
