I'm not going to spend a lot of time on this right now, but the
first hit is this rather boozy one:

In another iteration, she says you can sub 1/4 c cream for 9 Tbsps
liqueur. That may be a mistake, because elsewhere she subs an
equal amount.

To give credit where credit is due, earlier, in 1995, she said
"The truffles I make are a variation of the recipe published once
in the
Williams Sonoma catalogue."
