First, knead the marzipan with the almonds, powdered sugar, and unbeaten egg whites and let it rest overnight. On a floured board, form the dough into a sausage shape and cut into pieces (15-20 g each). Shape the pieces into balls, then place them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and press down lightly. Bake at 150°C for approx. 20 minutes. For the buttercream, melt 50 g of block chocolate. Cream 250 g of softened butter until fluffy. Stir the lukewarm chocolate into the butter until smooth. Spread the buttercream on the underside of the cooled cookies and chill. Melt the chocolate glaze and dip the Crailsheimerle upside down into the glaze. Chill.
