Double Chocolate Truffle Bars

Submitted by Evamyth

"I found this recipe in a calendar from Kraft. I made a batch for my son's neurologist and discovered she is a chocoholic. I used almond extract instead of the liqueur in one batch and no flavouring in another. Both batches were good. You can also use crushed candy canes instead of nuts. Prep time includes refrigeration."
