Chocolate Almond Butter Recipe

  • 1 ounce semisweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Amaretto
  • 1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup blanched almonds, toasted lightly and chopped
  1. In a small metal bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water melt the chocolate with the sugar and the Amaretto, stirring, and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
