ITALIAN CHOCOLATE BREAD WITH AMARETTO ICING
When I first discovered amaretto liqueur, I loved to have it on hand when I had par-
ties. I would have a bottle on the table, and my guests and I would have some in our
coffee, over ice cream, and even drink little sips of the viscous liquid on its own.
Amaretto is made from bitter almonds and apricot kernels, which add more almondy
flavor. This is a rich, fruity liqueur that stands up well in the heat of baking and ac-
cents the flavors in chocolate and nuts nicely. I buy Amaretto di Saronno, a family-
made brand from northwest Italy.
