CHOCOLATE AMARETTO BALLS

Steps:

• In a heavy saucepan, over low heat, melt chocolate chips with the sweetened condensed milk.
• Stir in amaretto and almond extract.
• Chill for 2 hours.
• Shape into 3/4" balls and roll in nuts.
• Chill until firm.
• Store at room temperature in an airtight container.
• Flavor will improve after 24 hours.
• You can adjust the amount of amaretto to your taste, depending on how strong you want the taste.

CHOCOLATE AMARETTO ALMOND TRUFFLES

Steps:

• 1. Place chocolate chips into a glass mixing bowl and put aside.
• 2. In a small saucepan, combine heavy whipping cream, Amaretto, and almond paste. Stir well, making sure to fully blend the almond paste into the mix. Heat to a boil and then remove from heat.
• 3. Pour hot cream mixture into bowl of chocolate chips. Let sit for 3-5 minutes. Slowly start stirring the chocolate and cream until all of the chocolate is melted and the cream has been thoroughly mixed. It should be smooth.
• 4. Place plastic wrap over bowl and tuck down the inside to place right on the mixture. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
• 5. Once solid, scoop out 1 to 2 tsp. of the chocolate and roll into balls. Keep your hands cold if you can to prevent chocolate from melting. When you have finished rolling all of it into balls, wash and dry your hands and roll each ball into the finely chopped almonds. Store in an airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to one week.
• 6. NOTE: I just made these and forgot to get the almond paste at the store. I used almond extract instead and it worked out just fine. Test the flavor after the Amaretto and 1 tsp. of almond extract. Use more extract for more flavor.
