AMARETTO BON BON BALLS



Amaretto Bon Bon Balls image

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.

Time P7DT30m

Yield 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups vanilla wafer crumbs (1 box, crushed, or I have also used 1/2 vanilla wafers and 1/2 chocolate chip cookies)
1 cup almond meal or 1 cup pecan meal (also called "flour", finely ground almonds or pecans)
1 cup confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
4 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/2 cup amaretto liqueur (I use the Disaronno brand)

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.
