one)
  1      cup           sliced almonds -- toasted and chopped

Freeze 2 hours or until firm.  Cut filling into 48 portions; shape each
portion into a ball.  Place on baking sheet.  Freeze 15 minutes.

Melt chocolate.  Using a fork, dip balls one at a time into chocolate; place
on waxed-paper-lined baking sheet.  Melt 4 ounces white baking pieces and 1
