Classic Truffles

- 1/3 cup whipping cream
- 4 teaspoons cherry brandy, hazelnut or orange liqueur, or milk
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped candied cherries or candied orange peel
- Unsweetened cocoa powder; finely chopped nuts, toasted; and/or powdered sugar
1. In a medium heavy saucepan combine chocolate pieces and whipping cream. Cook and stir constantly over low heat until chocolate melts. Remove saucepan from heat; cool slightly. Sir in cherry brandy. Beat truffle mixture with an electric mixer on low speed until smooth. Stir in cherries. Chill 1-1/2 to 2 hours or until firm.
