1. Break the chocolate up into small pieces and place in a glass bowl over simmering water (make sure the bowl isn´t touching the water) - you mustn´t stir the chocolate as it melts

2. When the chocolate has completely melted remove from over the heat and add the butter and the cream and mix together well

3. Add the brandy and the icing sugar and continue mixing until all the ingredients form a thick smooth mixture

4. Place the mixture in the fridge for about 30 mins

5. Finally form small balls with the mixture and lightly dust with the cocoa powder - place on a plate to serve
