Combine chocolate and milk in top of double boiler and set over simmering water until chocolate is melted. Cream butter and sugar. Stir in vanilla and chocolate mixture. Sift flour and salt together into mixture and blend well. Flatten a rounded teaspoonful of the chocolate dough and put 1/4 tsp (1 ml) of the almond mixture in the centre.
