Semisweet chocolate adds a luscious touch to the coffee and nuts in these morsels. They go together quickly in the microwave. Ingredients:
2/3 cup almond paste |
2 tablespoons coffee liqueur |
1 teaspoon instant espresso powder |
72 walnut halves |
6 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped |
1 teaspoon shortening |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the almond paste, liqueur and espresso powder. Spread about 1/2 teaspoon mixture on the flat side of half of the walnuts. Top with remaining walnuts, forming a sandwich.
2. In a microwave, melt chocolate and shortening; stir until smooth. Dip one end of sandwiches in chocolate; allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper; let stand until set. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Yield: 3 dozen.
