These are just like Amaretto truffles, only not as fattening (a good excuse to eat more!) The Amaretto is nice and strong when you first make them, but I'm sure it will mellow over time. I made my amaretti from scratch, which means I've got enough left over for a few more recipes of Yum Yums. Excellent!
