SINFUL TRUFFLES

(Don't even think about substituting for these ingredients; if you don't like these, make something else!)

2 oz unsweetened chocolate, melted

2 oz semisweet chocolate, melted

½ cup walnuts, coarsely chopped

In a medium bowl, mix the jam, cake crumbs, and liqueur.  Mix in the melted chocolate.  Roll batter into 2-inch balls and then roll in chopped walnuts.
