When I place the Amaretto Snowballs on trays or in boxes mixed with other Christmas cookies and candy, my family and friends always ask which one is the candy with 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 Christmas for over 40 years!
