Creamy and sinfully rich, these chocolate candies are coated with a fine layer of almonds. A touch of vanilla adds a warm note to this sweet confection.

Unsuccessful

Kelly Winterson from Toronto, ON

For whatever reason the evaporated milk and sugar didn't boil properly so the chocolate seized a bit and didn't set properly. Wouldn't bother with this recipe again.
Very versatile recipe

S. Schroder from WAYZATA, MN

I had a truffle recipe using sweetened condensed milk, but this is better since I have evaporated milk in my cupboard more frequently. These are easy to make and taste very rich (I prefer the vanilla to the almond extract). I have also left these overnight in the refrigerator, then dipped in melted Nestle white or semi-sweet chocolate for an additional taste/texture. Really great!
Easy and Fun!

Kiki Harrison from Itasca, Illinois

I made these for my superbowl party and they were a hit! Everyone was eating them more than anything else! Good thing I made two batches or my Dad's friends would have went crazy! One thing you don't want 20 is hungry die hard football fans!
Delish!

Very good!
Simple and Delicious

Deborah Howard from HERTFORD, NC

Made these for my SuperBowl Party and they were a Huge hit! All of my girlfriends have asked for the recipe. I made black and white truffles using white nestle chips and Grand Marnier. YUMMY.
wonderful candy

Kim Moore from Cincinnati

This is an easy and versatile recipe. I rolled some in grated coconut and some in the almonds. I included these in gift boxes for Christmas and everyone liked them. The almond extract gives them a cherry flavor. Next year I think I try rolling them in finely crushed chocolate cookies or grated white chocolate. Great recipe, thanks
Many Years

Brenda Paschke from ,

I have been making this recipe for many years and the whole family loves the truffles. I have adapted this recipe to our favorite fudge recipe as well by just spreading the mixture into a pan and refrigerating until firm.
deliciooooohus!

Georgia Neisz from Antioch, TN

I did 2 variations that work so well my friends said I should sell them. One is to use semi-sweet chocolate morsels and toasted and chopped pecans. The other is using white chocolate morsels and almond extract with your toasted and chopped almonds. YUM and easy!
Not Impresses

Kevin Nyquist from Fairfield, CA

They taste too much like fudge. If I wanted fudge, I would make fudge. They are smooth, but I have made smoother and better tasting truffles before.

Brandy W from

Not too bad
Easy and Forgiving

HEIDI GUNDERSON from Rapelje, MT

These were delicious (I chose to top mine with sweetened coconut and use 60% cocoa chips) and forgiving. I let the chocolate get too hard in the refrigerator and I just put the pan back on the burner on low and slowly melted the chocolate. They turned out great and delicious.
This was wonderful

vickie mainella from Ridgefield, WA

I made these today and they were very easy and they will add a wonderful touch to my goodie trays I hand out at Christmas, and they melt in your mouth very good.
Loved them

Jayne Dimas from Avondale, AZ

Marilyn Rodriguez from KINGSLAND, GA

These were very easy to make and for forming the balls I used the ice cream scoop.The truffles are so good you have to make two batches.One for you and the other for the family.
Toasted Almond truffles

Fran D from Monroe Township, NJ

This was my first try at making this recipe and it is just the best. I used 1/2 teaspoon almond extract, a rounded measuring spoon (teas.)to form the balls and they are great.I will definately be making these again.

Marcella Wozniak from Westchester, IL

I made these with semi-sweet and they were fab (hardest part is the rolling). Then I made a batch with milk chocolate using ORANGE extract and toasted pecans. Absolutely delish! They'll definately be on my gift giving list for Christmas platters.
The Very Best For Sure!!!

toasted almond truffles

nan vroman from amherst, NY

I recently made this recipe for our church Christmas party. I wasn't sure what to expect, but was amazed at how easy the recipe was and how wonderfully delicious they were. I used the almond flavoring, no vanilla. They got many compliments! Be careful not to overtoast the almonds.
Holiday Favorites

Lisa Vigg from SHEFFIELD LAKE, OH

My teenager made the truffles for Thanksgiving. They were a crowd pleaser, and she was proud of her "cooking" skills. She didn't toast the almonds, but no one cared.

Great Gift Idea!!

MARY PATTERSON from COLUMBIA, MO

I made these for Mother's Day and the recipients just loved them. I used the semisweet morsels instead of the milk chocolate, but they still turned out great. These turned out to be a great gift!!

Truffles: on a wintry day

juanita russell from Bedford, IN

One of the best things about being snowed is the opportunity to try new recipes. Last night while preparing dinner. I mixed up a double batch of the truffles. Not having almonds in the house, crushed peanuts were the nuts of choice. The recipe is quick, easy, verasitile. It will make tasty Easter eggs. Yum: hot tea, a cozy comforter,a couple of truffles made choice moment as we watched the Westminster Dogs strut their stuff. A perfect winter's evening.

nancy cobb from ANTIOCH, TN

I just made these and am eating one right now! Yummy!! They are so rich and delicious! This recipe is a great base for different variations of truffles. Next time I want to try adding coconut to the chocolate and rolling them in almonds.
Toasted Almond Truffles Review

Nicole Adams from Benbrook, TX

This is a great recipe! Easy to make and a favorite at the Christmas party.
Rough start - but EXCELLENT taste!!

Lyn Olgin from McKinney, TX

I had a rough time getting the mixture to thicken up enough to roll into balls. It came out like a very thick sticky icing. But I scooped it up in one spoon and using a 2nd spoon dropped it onto the almond pieces and sprinkled more almond on the top until I could handle & shape it. I put them into candy cups, and by keeping them refrigerated they stayed firm enough to eat. All my family are requesting them again because they were incredible tasting and well worth it.
This is A great recipe!!!!

sheri castellani from Glendale, AZ

I made this as a treat for me and my fiancee, and he loved it! So now, his parents arecomming down, and I have to make it. They are gonna love it!!!!
truffles with a kick

Ms. Balschuk from FARMINGDALE, NY

I cut down the milk by 1 tablespoon and added 1 tablespoon of ALMOND Liquer. They were a fabulous variation of a great recipe.
Loved by All

good marriage

Dao Orloski from MENTOR, OH

ALMOND AND CHOCOLATE MAKE A GOOD MARRIAGE OF FLAVORS. DELICIOUS!
deliciously irresistable

Robin Jones from HOOVER, AL

Thank goodness I doubled the recipe!!! I made these for Valentines Day and everyone thought they were simply devine. I used vanilla extract in them instead of almond. When you bite into the crunchy almond and sink your teeth into the creamy chocolate you will feel as if you have died and gone to heaven or so that is what I've been told. Many thanks for this recipe. It's a keeper.
truffels

Cyndy B Wilber from Ravena, NY

These were good but the amount of almond extract gave it more of a marzipan taste. I cut the almond flavor by 1/3 and added 1/3 vanilla and 1/3 chocolate liquor. Awesome.

Hanifa Shaikh from LAWRENCEVILLE, GA

Wow

Susan Scott from Charles Town, WV
