How to Make Amaretto Yum Yums

  1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, ½ cup light corn syrup, ½ cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules, and 2 tablespoons water.
  2. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
  4. Stir in ¼ cup amaretto, 1 cup chocolate cookie crumbs, and ½ cup chopped walnuts.
  5. Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until firm enough to handle.
  6. Roll the chilled mixture into 1-inch balls.
  7. Roll the balls in ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder to coat evenly.
  8. Store the Amaretto Yum Yums in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
