Truffles

makes 24

6 oz semi sweet chocolate
2 tbsp of your favourite liqueur  I love Kahlua
3 tbsp unsalted butter
4 tbsp confection sugar
1/2 cup ground almonds or pecans
1/4 cup grated fine chocolate  semi sweet

place a boil over a boiling pot of water. make sure water is not touching the bottom of the bowl.
put chocolate and liqueur in bowl and stir until melted
add the butter, stir until melted
add sugar and the ground nuts stir until sugar and nuts are combined well.

Take off heat and let stand in a cool place until mixture firms up and you can handle it to roll balls.
roll balls into the grated chocolate.
place in candy wrappers, I use mini muffin holders because I always have them in the house.
place in fridge and let chill.
great for Christmas or baby shower, wedding.

change up what you grate to roll them in, change up the liqueur or use vanilla or other flavouring,
