Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | In a saucepan, combine the dark chocolate and brandy over low heat, stirring until fully melted and well combined. |
| 2 | Remove the saucepan from heat, and stir in the unsalted butter until it melts and blends smoothly with the chocolate mixture. |
| 3 | Transfer the chocolate mixture to a container and refrigerate until it sets to a moldable consistency that can be shaped without being too runny. This usually takes about 30-45 minutes. |
| 4 | While the chocolate mixture is chilling, set aside 36 whole macadamia nuts, and roughly chop the remaining nuts. |
| 5 | Once the chocolate mixture is firm enough to handle, take about 2 teaspoons of the mixture and mold it around each whole macadamia nut, forming a ball. |
| 6 | Roll each chocolate-coated nut ball in the chopped macadamia nuts until evenly coated. |
| 7 | Repeat the process until all the chocolate mixture is used, making approximately 36 truffle balls. |
| 8 | Place the truffle balls on a tray lined with parchment paper and chill them in the refrigerator until they firm up. This should take around 15-20 minutes. |
| 9 | Once chilled, your Macadamia Nut Truffles are ready to be enjoyed! Serve them as a delightful dessert or as a sweet treat alongside your favorite cup of coffee. |
