BRANDY TRUFFLES
Both my Mother and Grandmother have made these and I have been making them for my own family and friends for over 30 years. I do not know where the recipe I use originally came from, but believe that there is a similar one by Mrs Beaton.

Steps:
- 1. Break the chocolate into chunks. Using a bain marie or a bowl in the microwave, gently melt the chocolate. be careful not to over melt - it is better to stir the chocolate until the last few lumps have melted
- 2. Add all the other ingredients other than the coco powder for coating and combine well. If the mix is too sticky to handle just chuck in a tbsp of icing sugar at a time until you reach the right consistency. If you want to add extra brandy - and who doesn't - just go for it, making sure you add extra icing sugar
- 3. I use a melon baller to shape the chocolate mix and then roll each ball into the cocoa powder and place on some baking paper to dry.
- 4. As you can see I wrap them in foil, and then those I don't eat myself get bagged up and put into gift hampers full of home made goodies for friends and family.
