Ingredients

• 1 cup white chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 8 ounces butterscotch-flavored hard candy, crushed
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup sifted powdered sugar
• 1.75 cups vanilla wafers, crushed
• 0.75 cup sliced almonds, chopped

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place white chocolate chips in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 2

Pour butterscotch candy into chocolate and stir to combine. Add powdered sugar, sour cream, lemon zest, and salt; stir to combine. Stir in vanilla wafer crumbs. Let mixture chill in the refrigerator until firm, 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 3

Shape mixture into balls using a teaspoon-sized scoop. Roll balls in chopped almonds.
