Ingredients

• 1 cup very finely-ground almonds
• 1 container dark chocolate frosting - (16 oz)
• 4 tablespoons butter - (1/2 stick) room temperature
• 2 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1/2 teaspoon pure almond extract
• 48 chocolate kiss candies

Preparation

Step 1

Pulse almonds in a food processor until very finely ground, like coarse sand. Pour ground almonds into a pie pan or other shallow bowl and set aside.

Beat chocolate frosting and butter in large bowl with a hand mixer until well blended. Stir in graham cracker crumbs and almond extract. Shape chocolate mixture into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in almonds to coat. Place balls on a cookie sheet.

Using your finger, make a deep indentation in the center of each ball. Fill the indentations with chocolate kiss candies. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until cold.

This recipe yields 48 cookies.
