Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less but requires additional unattended time.

1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon Amaretto
1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup blanched almonds, toasted lightly and chopped

Preparation

  1. In a small metal bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water melt the chocolate with the sugar and the Amaretto, stirring, and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
