Description

These Chocolate Almond Morsels are a decadent, no-bake treat that combines the crunch of chocolate wafers with the nutty depth of blanched almonds. Bound together with almond liqueur and a touch of corn syrup, the mixture forms a dense, fudge-like dough that is rolled into bite-sized balls. A final coat of powdered sugar adds a snowy, sweet contrast to the rich, boozy center. These morsels are perfect for holiday cookie exchanges, elegant dessert platters, or simply as an after-dinner indulgence. They require no baking, just patience to let them set in the refrigerator, resulting in a sophisticated confection that tastes far more complex than it is to make.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a food processor or blender, pulse the chocolate wafer cookies and blanched slivered almonds until finely ground into a coarse meal.
  2. Add the almond liqueur and corn syrup to the processor and blend until the mixture combines into a thick, cohesive dough that holds together when pressed.
  3. Line a large baking sheet with wax paper or parchment paper and set aside.
  4. Place about 1/2 cup of powdered sugar in a shallow dish for rolling, and dust your hands lightly with additional powdered sugar to prevent sticking.
  5. Take small portions of the almond mixture and roll them between your palms to form 30 smooth, bite-sized balls.
  6. Roll each ball in the powdered sugar until completely coated, ensuring an even layer.
  7. Place the coated morsels on the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or until firm, before serving.
