Maybe next Christmas. I copied Bissinger's from a pic I saw in their
catalog. Basically I make up an almond paste (ground almonds and 240F
cooked simple syrup made with a little Amaretto), cool, then warm-to-
work and squish a small marble sized piece in between two pecan
halves, then dip in a hazelnut flavored fondant (shaking off much
excess), cool and dip in milk chocolate dipping compound. It's a
recipe I'm still struggling with to get right, actually.

I'm studying right now for an Women's Health nursing exam on Monday.
