For the almond paste:
1 1/3 cup of blanched slivered almonds (or 1 cup of blanched whole almonds) 
1 1/3 cup of powdered sugar
2 tablespoons of orange blossom water

For rolling the truffles:
5- Melt the chocolate in a 'bain marie' where you put the chocolate container on top of boiling water.
6- Let the chocolate cool for few minutes before using it.
7- Dip your hands in the chocolate, roll the ball of almond paste in your hand until it is covered with chocolate
then put it in a bowl containing the coating of your choice.
8- Let the ball sit for few seconds before rolling it in the coating.
9- Let the truffles cool in the fridge for 1 hour before serving.
Note: If you roll the truffles in cocoa powder or powdered sugar, make sure to sift them before serving to avoid
inhaling a chunk of powder while enjoying them.
