I’ve been meaning to make something with this ginger flavored bandy for a long time. The problem is. The bottle never lasts long in my house.
Between myself and my guests, the brandy disappears quickly, especially in these cold winter months.
So finally I bought two bottles at once and was able to eek out these Ginger Brandy Chocolate truffles before it all went away.
I expect these will disappear at the same rate, if not quicker. I mean add chocolate to ginger and brandy and you get what you expect. Amazingness.
