chocolate truffles

150g The Co-operative Fairtrade dark chocolate
150ml double cream
25g unsalted butter
15ml (1 tbsp) brandy (optional)
75g melted milk chocolate
75g melted white chocolate

Break 150g plain chocolate into squares and place in a food processor. Process until granular.

Place the double cream, unsalted butter and brandy (if using) in a pan, and bring to the boil.

Turn the food processor on and add the hot cream mixture in a steady stream to the chocolate mixture through the feeder tube until smooth.

Transfer the mixture to a bowl, cover with cling film and chill for several hours.

Spoon the mixture into walnut-sized pieces, and roll in your hands to form balls. Do not over-handle as the heat will melt the truffles. Place on a wire rack over a baking sheet and carefully spoon the melted milk chocolate over half the balls, and the melted white chocolate over the other half. Chill in the fridge until needed.
