Ingredients

  • 1 cup very finely ground almonds
  • 1 (16-ounce) container dark chocolate frosting
  • 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, at room temperature
  • 2 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure almond extract
  • 48 chocolate kiss candies (recommended: Hershey's)

Directions

Pulse almonds in a food processor until very finely ground, like coarse sand. Pour ground almonds into a pie pan or other shallow bowl and set aside. Beat chocolate frosting and butter in large bowl with a hand mixer until well blended. Stir in graham cracker crumbs and almond extract. Shape chocolate mixture into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in almonds to coat. Place balls on a cookie sheet. Using your finger, make a deep indentation in the center of each ball. Fill the indentations with chocolate kiss candies. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until cold.

    Not as bad as the reviews say!!

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    For being no bake cookies these turned out pretty good. I made 1 batch by the recipe, Then! I improvised on the 2nd batch. I... added 1/2 cup of marshmallow cream and swirled it into the mix. And instead of rolling in almonds i rolled in graham cracker crumbs and cocoa powder. I topped them off with a chocolate kiss and a small broken piece of graham cracker. "Smore no bakes". It was a great base recipe to start with.. maybe next time add peanut butter and roll in peanuts? Or chopped up marchino cherries and shortbread cookie crumbs? The possibilities are endless!Read more

    dissappointing

    Rated: 1 stars out of 5
    No Offense SAndra, but these were horrid! Pretty to look at but that's the problem we don't want to just sit back and look at... a cookie we want to eat it! These were un-edible. My 17 year old son and I ate the kiss and threw the rest of the"cookie" out. I will try them on my 8 year old and his friends. Maybe they will appeal to a younger crowd. Ugh, that frosting taste is gross.Read more

    pretty good

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    I altered the recipe a little bit and sent them with my fiance to a party. He came back with nothing but rave review. I... substituted vanilla frosting for the dark chocolate, and put half the amount of graham crackers. They melted a little on the way to the party, but the boys popped them in the freezer for a little bit, then enjoyed them immensely :). I plan on making the dark chocolate version for a bridal shower coming up.Read more

    I have not made these,nor will I because just reading the ingredients tells me these would be disgusting! Make the real thing... instead. They are not that hard and taste MUCH better than these "frosting blobs" would!Read more
