The positively elegant "very adult" confection is from Blue Diamond.

Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until sugar is dissolved
and chocolate is melted. Remove from heat and mix in crushed wafers,
Curacao and the chopped almonds. Chill mixture at least one hour.
Form into small balls; roll in the ground almonds. Refrigerate in
air-tight container for several days for best flavor to develop.
