1/2 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup finely chopped almonds
3/4 cup pecans
1/8 cup chocolate syrup
1 egg
1 teaspoon lemon zest
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt butter, stirring frequently until coarse crumbs appear. Remove from heat and set aside to cool. Mix together almonds, pecans and chocolate syrup. Stir until thickened, about 10 minutes. Beat egg in small bowl. Stir in lemon zest. Pour mixture into prepared pan. Freeze for 2 hours, or until firm.
The baking time listed is for fresh baked rolls, not for storing. I baked 30 rolls, took them out of the oven and did not add the milk, the rolls were great! I will try to cut down on the freezing temps next time.
This is a great cookie to make for a little something to do while you are at the office on a warm summer day. I made these for guests and they were well received. I did add some extra flour and cocoa powder for texture but that really didn't change anything. They still came out of the oven just as my husband was about to eat them. They were very nice.
All of my friends have piles of these and I never get to bring them home from the farm. They are such a treat when you want to dress them up and are out of the house, but they are also great left in the barn or even in the freezer. My kids love them so I won't be bringing them home from the farm!
