Chocolate Almond Butter Balls.

I ran across this one in an older collection of recipes, and it looks divine.

Chocolate Almond Butter Balls

1 1/2 cups butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg yolk
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp salt
3 oz. unsweetened chocolate
2 tsp orange zest
2 cups flour
1 1/4 cups finely chopped almonds, lightly toasted

Cream butter with 1/2 cup sugar. Beat in egg yolk and salt. Melt 2 oz. of chocolate and stir with orange zest into butter mixture. Add flour and 3/4 cup almonds. Shape into 1 1/2 inch balls. Combine remained 1/4 cup sugar, 1 oz. chocolate, and 1/2 cup almonds in blender and process until well mixed. Roll balls in mixture. Bake on ungreased baking sheet at 350 degrees for 13 minutes. Cool on rack. Makes about 3 dozen.
