About

These nutty kisses should be slightly gooey in the middle and simply melt in your mouth. The salt in this recipe really brings out the toasty almond flavour. They are attractive and delicate little confections, and require only a few ingredients. To add an extra dimension, you could dip these treats in melted chocolate.
