Brandy (or sherry) Chocolate Balls – No Bake

by · Published · Updated

Makes 12. Prep: 2-3 hours (need time for mix to set).

INGREDIENTS:

  • 8 sponge-finger biscuits
  • 25 g castor sugar
  • 50 g plain chocolate
  • 1.5 tbsp single cream
  • 1 tbsp brandy or sherry
  • Suitable coverings: Castor sugar, drinking chocolate, food-grade sparkle dust.
  • Petite four cases

METHOD:

  • Finely Crush the biscuits (I put them in a small plastic bag and hit it with a rolling pin).
  • Break up the chocolate, put the pieces in a bowl and set it over a pan of simmering water.
  • Stir occasionally until the chocolate mix has melted.
  • Remove the bowl from the heat, then stir in the cream and sugar.
  • Add the crushed biscuits and brandy (or sherry) and mix in well (no need to beat the mix).
  • Leave the mixture to become stiff.
  • Shaped into small balls, then roll in castor sugar, drinking chocolate or food-grade sparkle dust (e.g., Rainbow Dust Sparkle Spray).
  • Put in petit four cases in a lidded container and leave them to mature for at least 24 hours.
