The history of the Mozartkugenl began in Salzburg where the ingenious composer W. A. Mozart was born in 1756.

About 100 years after  composer W. A. Mozart had lived and worked, Paul Fürst, a master confectioner from Salzburg, developed the Mozartkugeln. 

He began by forming small balls of marzipan, which he coated in a praline cream before spearing them on little wooden sticks. After that, he dipped these balls in warm bittersweet chocolate until coated with an even chocolate layer. This was the birth of the Mozartkugel.
