How to Make Amarettini Candy
- Place 200g of amarettini cookies in a freezer bag and crush them into very fine crumbs using a rolling pin or food processor.
- Transfer the crumbs to a medium bowl and stir in 2 tablespoons of amaretto liqueur (or your chosen substitute). Mix well to combine.
- Break 200g of chocolate into small pieces and melt it in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (double boiler), stirring occasionally until smooth. Alternatively, melt in 30-second intervals in the microwave, stirring after each interval.
- Add the cookie crumb mixture to the melted chocolate. Stir until evenly coated.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour the chocolate-cookie mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it into a rectangle approximately 20cm x 10cm.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.
- Once firm, use a sharp knife to cut the candy into small cubes.
- For garnish: Melt a small amount of chocolate in a double boiler or microwave. Transfer to a small freezer bag, snip off a tiny corner, and drizzle decorative lines over the candy cubes.
- For variation: Experiment with different types of chocolate (e.g., milk, white) or liqueurs (e.g., Grand Marnier, coffee liqueur) and cookies (e.g., biscotti).
- Place the finished Amarettini candies in an airtight container and store in a cool, dry place.
