Amarettini Candy image

This is a very sweet candy using the famous Italian amarettini cookies as a basis. It's quick and easy to put together and makes a great gift. It can be easily varied by subbing different alcohols or flavoured-syrups for the amaretto or using a different type of cookie as the basis. Chill time is included.

Time 1h

Yield 30 candies

Number Of Ingredients 4

150 g amarettinis (Italian almond cookie)
75 ml Amaretto (almond liqueur)
150 g milk chocolate
25 g white chocolate or 25 g dark chocolate

Steps:

  • Place the amarettini in a freezer bag and crush the cookies into very fine crumbs (using a glass bottle). Place the crumbs in a bowl and stir in the amaretto.
  • Break the chocolate into pieces and melt those using a hot water bath. Add the cookie crumbs and mix well.
  • Pur the mixture onto a baking sheet and form into a rectangle of about 20X10 cm. Refrigerate for 30 minute.
  • Cut the hardened mass into small cubes (2X2.5cm).
  • For garnish: Melt the chocolate using a hot water bath, fill it into a freezer bag, cut off a tiny edge and decorate the cubes with the chocolate. For a variation you could also use two different kinds of chocolate.
  • Place in a box and store in a cool place (these will keep up to ten days).
