1/3 C butter

2 ½ C powdered sugar

1 ½ t almond extract

½ C cocoa

½ C whipping cream

3 ½ doz. Whole almonds

Melt butter, stir in cocoa. Cool. In large mixer, combine cocoa mixture with powdered sugar, gradually add cream, vanilla and almond extract. Blend well. Chill until firm. Shape small amount of mixture around almond. Roll in powdered sugar or coating until covered. Cover and chill until firm. Coating: powdered sugar and cocoa.

I am not sure how much vanilla as my recipe doesn't say. I am assuming it is 1 teaspoon though.

This sounds delicious! I am not supposed to eat sugar due to my diabetes but sometimes I splurge and have some anyway.

Almost tempting enough to make me want to order some Dutch Cocoa.

Janet, try Splenda and make powdered sugar with it. It is so easy to do. All you have to do is put it in a blender for a few minutes and it will make XXX sugar.
