Chocolate Coated Chestnuts

Place Chestnuts in a small bowl, sprinkle with Rum (OR Brandy) and marinate over night. *I found wrapping with a piece of plastic food wrap is the best way to evenly marinate Chestnuts with the minimal amount of Rum.

Dry the marinated Chestnuts with paper towel.

Place broken Chocolate in a heat-proof bowl, and heat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes OR over a saucepan of boiling water. Mix well until smooth.

Line a baking tray with baking paper. Dip a few Chestnuts in the melted Chocolate, then pick up using 2 forks or chopsticks, one Chestnut at a time, and lay on the prepared baking paper. Repeat with remaining Chestnuts.

Allow them to cool until Chocolate has set.
