Passover Desserts #1

Karydoglyco

Karydoglyko (in Greek)  – Walnut Sweets
2 cups walnuts, finely ground or chopped
4 tablespoons powdered or grated chocolate
4 tablespoons white sugar
2-4 tablespoons cognac, brandy, ouzo or rum
Powdered (granulated) sugar

This is a very simple and easy to make treat, although it is a little time consuming, as it is hands on! It has no other choice that to be a success!

Think of it as precious truffles – you are not supposed to eat the whole thing as if it were m&m’s, although it’s so good this is definitely possible!

Mix well in a big bowl all the ingredients: walnuts, chocolate, sugar and liquor till you have a think paste. With your hands, make small balls (no larger than 3/4″). Wet hands in a bowl of water when they become too sticky. Roll each ball in powdered sugar and set aside in the fridge for a day to mellow.

This quantity makes about 20 balls. Double or triple the recipe to make larger quantities.
