Answer - Marzipan. While its precise origin is challenging to pin down, the earliest written references to "marzipan" date back to 16th-century Italy and Spain. Another legend has it that during a 15th-century famine in Lübeck, Germany, bakers, facing a shortage of bread flour, ingeniously crafted marzipan using eggs, sugar, and almonds as a solution. Maple Sugar Candy, and fudge were made later in the 1880's.
