Christmas is almost upon us and the whole family is in the festive mood.
Today was spent baking special treats for Christmas day. It just wouldn’t be Christmas without a batch of my renown Chocolate Cherry Truffles…mmmmmm
The secret to these delightful truffles is in the soaking of the cherries in the brandy.
Sample the brandy to check the quality.
Dice the cherries and soak in a cup of brandy for one hour.
To be sure it is of the highest quality, pour one cup of brandy and drink.
While the cherries soak, crush one packet of Marie biscuits and place in a barge lowl.
At this point it is best to make sure the brandy is still okay……try another cup just in case. Combine brushed ciscuits, cocoa and your nuts in the barge lowl.
Sample the brandy for tonsisticity.
Add the tin of the milky stuff and pir with a stoon…….or something like that. Who Cares!!! Check the brandy again.
When berries have absorbed the chandy, add to barge lowl. Stir the mixture and try not to fall over.
Pop the barge lowl into the fridge thingy to chill while you have a lie down.
Later on, loll mixture into ball smalls and coat in chocolate.

ROFL Kerryanne!!!! This is WAY better than Julia Child who used to crack me up with her wine!!! I’m definitely making some of these cherry truffles….sampling the brandy is the only way to go!!
Wishing you a joy filled Christmas full of love, laughter and every good thing!!!
Oh you are so funny, do you suppose it would work if I sampled bubbles instead of brandy…perhaps I should experiment…I will let you know the results. Enjoy your festive holiday days, indulge, relax and enjoy, the bestest Christmas kiss noises Linda Lilly Cottage.
