4 tbs unsweetened dark cocoa powder 

¼ cup walnut pieces 

3 tbs granulated stevia, or sweetener of choice, to taste 

1-2 tbs brandy *see notes 

Instructions: 

1. Warm the cream cheese block to room temperature or in the microwave for 15 seconds, until it is soft enough to work with. 

2. Add the melted butter and mix through with a fork to ensure it is lump free and smooth. 

3. Add the cocoa powder, stevia and brandy. Mix until thoroughly combined. 

4. Gently stir through the tiny walnut pieces and refrigerate until firm enough to roll into balls. 

5. Roll a heaped teaspoon at a time and place each truffle on a plate. Place the plate into the fridge again for an hour or two for the truffles to really set firmly.
