This recipe came out great! I substituted a little less than 1 tspn rum for the amaretto and used Ghirardelli rasberry coffee grounds instead of instant coffee (and actually used sweet ground chocolate with cocoa for the coating). The result was fabulous! It's a really easy recipe and an instant favorite. I highly recommend this one.
