Chestnut Truffles
Give your Valentine unique homemade truffles that are sure to impress. This is an easy recipe, but make sure to coat the chestnuts quickly as the chocolate mixture tends to harden easily.

2 Cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
2 Tablespoons Butter
1/3 Cup Heavy Cream
1 Tablespoon Brandy
6 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder
Line baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In medium-size saucepan add heavy cream over a medium-low heat for 6 minutes. Add butter and cook until it melts.
Turn off heat and add chocolate chips. Mix well until chocolate melts completely. Stir in brandy.
One by one dip chestnuts in chocolate mixture and cover chestnut entirely. Gently place on prepared baking sheet. Place in refrigerator 2 hours.
Remove from fridge and dust in cocoa powder.
