Bonbon for Mom

By Julie Wardell

2 cups graham cracker crumbs

1 1/2 cups chopped almonds

1 can (16 ounces/454 g) ready-to-spread chocolate frosting

1 teaspoon almond extract

1. Place the crumbs and the almonds in a large bowl.

2. With clean hands, blend the frosting and the almond extract into the crumbs.

3. Scoop up a generous teaspoonful of the dough. Roll it between your palms to make a ball. Continue making bonbons until all the mixture is gone.
