Instructions
Melt the chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave at 50% power. Set aside.
Add the corn syrup and stir well to mix.
In the bowl of a food processor, combine the vanilla wafers with the chopped nuts. Process the mixture to form fairly fine crumbs.
In a large bowl, combine the crumb mixture with the powdered sugar.
Add the melted chocolate mixture and the amaretto.
Mix really well with a wooden spoon.
Let stand about 20 minutes and then form the mixture into 1-inch balls (roughly 13 grams mixture per ball).
Roll the balls in granulated sugar. Store in an airtight container.
Notes
For the dark chocolate, I used Cacao Barry Ocoa 70 % dark chocolate.
