Sherry Sugar Balls

• 4 oz (100 g) plain chocolate
• 3 tablespoons single cream

Brandy or rum may be used in place of sherry. These sugar balls improve considerably in flavour on keeping.

Break the chocolate in pieces, place in a basin and set over a pan half-filled with hot water. Stir occasionally until the chocolate has melted. Remove the basin from the heat and stir in the cream and sugar. Finely crush the sponge-finger biscuits and add to the chocolate mixture
