- Soak the cherries in the brandy overnight or possibly longer. Drain the cherries, reserve the brandy.
- Cream the butter and sugar in a mixer. In a double boiler, heat the chocolates. Spoon the melted chocolate, spoon by spoon, into the butter and sugar mix and mix thoroughly by hand.
- Add in reserved brandy to sugar and chocolate mix and stir by hand till all is absorbed. Add in 3 Tablespoons cocoa and mix by hand.
- Put mix in the freezer and thoroughly chill. Prepare a surface to assemble the balls. Mix equal amounts of cocoa and powdered sugar, about 1/3 c. each. On a piece of waxed paper, heavily dust with the cocoa powdered sugar mix. Remove the chocolate from the freezer when it is chilled and stiff. For each cherry, spoon out a heaping tsp. of the chocolate and drop on dusted paper. Dip your fingers into the cocoa/sugar mix and flatten chocolate to a small pancake. Place a cherry in the center and fold chocolate around it.
- Gently roll the ball between your palms to create and finish by rolling the ball in the cocoa/sugar mix. Repeat for each cherry. If the chocolate mix softens, return to the freezer to hard up.
- Place the completed balls in a container with a lid and store in the frig.
- These balls are dense and heavy with a rich chocolate flavor. For a lighter flavor, I suggest you omit the unsweetened baking chocolate and add in 1/4 pound more lowfat milk chocolate.
- Licking your fingers is not permitted during the assembly, but manditory after you are done. (grin)
