How To Make almond chocolate mousse

1
Melt butter in small saucepan; remove from heat. Add mini chips; stir until melted. Blend in amaretto; set aside. Beat egg yolks in small mixer bowl until thick and lemon colored. Heat 1/4 cup sugar and the water in small saucepan until mixture boils rapidly; immediately pour hot mixture in thin stream into egg yolks, beating constantly. Continue beating 3 minutes on high speed or until doubled in volume. Carefully fold reserved chocolate mixture into egg yolk mixture; chill 20 minutes.
