Suchard chocolate
 
I am (somewhat desperately, I admit) trying to find a place in the U.S. or online where I can buy Suchard's classic marzipan. Online searches have turned up nothing. Nor has the company's website (though I did email them). The candy I am looking for is in a dark plum/purple wrapper with the Suchard seal in red, and says "marzipan" in gold capital letters with "massepain" in small type underneath. If anyone has any ideas where this brand/item can be purchased I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

The only other assistance I can offer is to post your question on Chowhound -- but maybe you have done that already.

When you think that Suchard is owned by Kraft now... :-/

Suchard was my late MIL's favourite chocolate, but she couldn't pronounce the name. She called it "Suck 'ards"!

I tried contacting Kraft. I'm curious to see what (if anything) they say. The international websites are really expensive because of shipping and VAT (I think it was $14 a bar). I may just have to wait until someone I know goes to Europe :(
