  1. These are great! I just submitted another one using Black Sambuca! Thanks for the recipe!!!
     
  2. FANTASTIC!!! The most amazing flavor and so easy to make. My dinner guests were so impressed. Instead of walnuts I used chopped almonds.
     
  3. These were very nice! Rather than use the food processor, I melted the chocolate, cream, and butter in a double boiler, then added the other ingredients...it turned out fine. Also, the mixture was ready for rolling after about 2 hours. We rolled these in a 3/2 ratio cocoa/powdered sugar mixture. Thanks for the recipe!
