Default Marzipan vs. almond paste

My first msg!

I have tried chocolate coated marzipan before. (Rum soaked citrus peels
mixed with marzipan, then dipped in dark chocolate). It was good, but
a bit too sweet to my taste.

I learned from a makers of the marzipan that I used (I used
Ondense(sp?) brand from Sweden that I found in a local supermarket)
that marzipan and almond paste have same ingredients, but almond paste
contains less sugar.

So, it seems like I could use almond paste instead of marzipan.
However, it makes me a bit suspcious that I have never ran into a
dipped chocolate recipe that calls for almond paste.

What do you think? Has anyone tried chocolate dipped almond paste?

Thanks!
