These truffles were grandma’s sneaky way of using leftover amaretti cookies. A little cocoa, a splash of coffee or liqueur, and boom – magic. No baking, no rolling pins, just sticky hands and happy faces. Bittersweet, a little nutty, and totally unforgettable.

If the mixture is too dry, add a splash more coffee. Too wet? More crumbs. It’s flexible – like grandma’s rules when dessert was involved.
