    Utensils Used
    | 1. Slit prunes with a small sharp knife and remove the stones. | 2. Place pitted prunes in a small bowl and cover them with the cognac and allow them to soak for at least 30 minutes. | 3. Open up each prune and insert a walnut half and then press it closed again. The cut sides should stick together and the walnut be completely enclosed. | 4. Repeat with all prunes. | 5. Melt chocolate in double boiler and dip each stuffed prune into the melted chocolate with a pair of tongs. | 6. Place onto a foil-lined tray and sprinkle with remaining walnuts that have been finely chopped. | 7. Allow to set at room temperature (avoid refrigeration as it takes away the glossy finish and makes them look dull). | 8. Each piece can be put into a pleated paper cup for an attractive presentation. | 9. Dried apricots can be substituted for prunes but they are a little drier and harder to stuff. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
