Equipment

  • mini cupcake cases (petits four cases)

Ingredients

  • 100 g dark chocolate - chips, vegan
  • 50 ml golden syrup
  • 80 ml brandy - or amaretto, whiskey, rum
  • 200 g Rich Tea - biscuits, or use a similar sweet, dry biscuit
  • 100 g nuts - chopped (I buy the ready chopped)
  • chocolate vermicelli - vegan (Sainsbury do a dark vegan one) for coating, or use cocoa powder.

Instructions

  • Melt the chocolate in a microwaveable dish in 10 second bursts. Alternatively, gently heat in a heatproof bowl of a pan of simmering water.
  • Add the melted chocolate to the other ingredients (except the vermicelli).
  • Mix well. The mixture will be very stiff and quite sticky, so you will need to wash your hands every so often when you start rolling!
  • Roll into walnut sized truffles, then coat with the vermicelli or cocoa powder
  • Place in petits four cases and chill until you are ready to serve. These are better after a couple of days, as the flavours have had time to mellow, but I won't tell if you try one or three now.

Please note that where the recipe asks for milk, butter or yogurt, this refers to any plant-based version that you prefer.
