You'll need only three ingredients to make these fluffy chocolate bites. The quick, creamy confections get a pretty look when rolled in ground almonds as shown here. Placed in foil candy cups, they make a special gift when presented in a festive holiday tin.

Very good. I have been searching for this recipe. Used it last Christmas. Wanted more. Love that you can make ahead and freeze.
