Instructions
- In heavy saucepan or double boiler on low heat, melt chocolate morsels with sweetened condensed milk. When completely blended, remove from heat and stir in Amaretto and extract.

Notes
When I place the Amaretto Snowballs on trays or in boxes mixed with other Christmas candy and cookies, my family and friends always ask which one is the candy with the Amaretto in it. It is an easy recipe to mix up and is fun to make with a friend. I have been making this candy for over 40 years.
