4 oz semi-sweet chocolate

1 Tbsp brandy (optional, but nice)
1 cup margarine at room temperature
¾ cup chopped walnuts

glaze:
2 oz semi-sweet chocolate
3 TBSP water

1 pint strawberries, washed but not hulled


Recipe


In a large bowl, soak matzo in water briefly.

Drain water and crumble matzo

Melt chocolate with coffee and sugar in the top of a double boiler or in a small bowl in the microwave.

Add brandy if using.

Cool.

In a large mixing bowl, beat margarine until fluffy.

Add chocolate mixture, beating well.

Stir in matzo and nuts.

Place a piece of wax paper about 2 feet long on a work surface.

Use a large spoon to shape a mass about 10" long and 2" in diameter.

Wrap the wax paper around it and shape into a cylinder.

Tuck the ends under, place on a plate, and refrigerate at least 3 hours until firm.

Melt glaze ingredients.

Unwrap the roll, spoon glaze over it evenly, and
chill again.

To serve: Arrange on a platter surrounded by berries or serve slices on individual plates with a berry or two on the side.

Slice with serrated knife.

Serves 10-12. (This is very rich, so the servings are small)
