Thankfully no. (Or not yet depending on the way this goes.)  This is a good 
thing since one of my guilty pleasures is Lindor hazelnut filled chocolate 
balls.

I can look for these, but the likelyhood of finding them is slim since I live 
in the middle of nowhere.  I think, at least for the recipies I like my 
options are to skip the nuts altogether or try some other variety of nuts.  I 
guess my husband, brother-in-law and father will just have to deal with 
eating my different versions of Almas pite. (And before anyone asks I'll try 
to post the recipe this weekend when I have more time.  Its not a period 
recipe but it is a nice little dessert. . .)
