Once you start making chocolates at home, shop-bought ones will never be quite the same.Ingredients
200 g of semi-sweet chocolate
150 g unbleached sweet marzipan paste
about 20 dried cherries or cranberries
1 tsp butter
Method
Melt the chocolate and the butter over a pan of boiling water. Watch so that no water falls in or the chocolate will curdle.
Make small, truffle-sized balls out of the marzipan and put a dried berry inside each.
Dip the balls in melted chocolate and place on a piece of baking paper.
Let set for at least 1 hour and place in an air-tight container.
Will keep for up to 2 weeks.
Tip: Melt some white or dark chocolate and drizzle over the top of the chocolates for an attractive pattern.
