--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  11      oz            Chocolate
   1      c             Mascarpone
   4      tb            Water -- up to 5 tb
     1/4  c             Sugar
                        Filberts -- toasted, crushed
   3      tb            Brandy

Beat the mascarpone, sugar, and brandy with a wooden spoon. Cut a
sponge cake into little rectangles. Spread with mascarpone mixture
and top with another slice of cake to make a sandwich. Lightly press
together.

In a double boiler, melt the chocolate with water. Remove from heat
and before it cools dip the little sandwiches and coat on all sides.
Use a fork to hold and a spoon to drip the chocolate to cover all
spots. Place on serving dish and sprinkle with the chopped nuts.
Refrigerate to harden outside.

Serve almost at room temperature.
