  • Melt the chocolate in a double boiler, add the butter and brandy, and stir quickly to combine. Take it off the heat, let it cool slightly, then pour in the cream and add the egg yolk. Mix well and taste — add powdered sugar if you'd like it sweeter. Chill for a few hours. Once the chocolate mixture firms up to a moldable, dough-like consistency, roll it into balls and coat them in your topping of choice — cocoa powder, crushed wafers, cookie crumbs, or finely chopped nuts all work well. Store in the refrigerator.
