AMARETTO BON BON BALLS
Traditionally, I make a double-batch of bourbon balls every Thanksgiving weekend in preparation for gifting during the holiday season. The candies are great and everyone loves them, but I just can't stand the taste of bourbon, in any shape or form. A couple of years ago I raided the liquor cabinet and developed a sauced-up holiday candy that I can eat too! Now I annually produce double-batches of bourbon balls and amaretto bonbons.

Steps:
- Blend all the ingredients together and shape into 30 one-inch balls.
- If the mixture turns out too wet/dry, balance it out by adding more powdered (icing) sugar to dry it out or more liquor to moisten it up.
- Roll the balls in extra powdered sugar, cocoa powder or chocolate milk powder.
- Store in an airtight container for at least one week before sampling.
- I have also successfully stored them in the refrigerator and in the freezer.

Tips:
- To achieve the perfect marzipan texture, use a food processor or blender to grind the almonds until they are very fine. This will help the marzipan to be smooth and consistent.
- When shaping the marzipan balls, use a small cookie scoop to ensure that they are all uniform in size. This will help them to cook evenly.
- If you are having trouble shaping the marzipan balls, try chilling the mixture for 30 minutes before rolling them. This will make them easier to handle.
- To achieve a golden brown color on the marzipan balls, brush them with egg wash before baking. This will also help to give them a shiny finish.
- For a more intense almond flavor, use almond extract instead of vanilla extract in the marzipan mixture.
Conclusion:
Amaretto marzipan balls are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their soft and chewy texture, delicate almond flavor, and crunchy outer shell, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
