--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1 1/4   c            Blue Diamond Chopped Natural
                       -Almonds, toasted
  1       oz           Squares milk chocolate
    1/2   c            Orange juice

  3       c            Crushed lemon, orange, or

  2       tb           Curacao or orange juice

 The positively elegant "very adult" confection is from
 Blue Diamond.

 In blender or food processor, finely grind 1/4 cup of
 the almonds; set aside. Combine chocolate with orange
 juice and sugar in saucepan. Cook over medium heat,
 stirring constantly until sugar is dissolved and
 chocolate is melted. Remove from heat and mix in
 crushed wafers, Curacao and the chopped almonds. Chill
 mixture at least one hour. Form into small balls; roll
 in the ground almonds. Refrigerate in air-tight
 container for several days for best flavor to develop.
 Makes about 3 dozen.
