Walnut-Stuffed Chocolate-Covered Prunes are an elegant dessert that is perfect for entertaining, fancy dinners, and special occasions. The combination of rich chocolate, sweet prunes, and crunchy walnuts creates a decadent flavor and texture that is sure to impress your guests. Not only are these prunes mouthwateringly delicious, but they also have several health benefits.

Instructions

1.	Place the walnut halves on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for about 10 minutes at 350°F.
2.	While the walnuts are toasting, use a sharp paring knife to make an incision in each prune, just enough to remove the pit.
3.	Once the walnuts are toasted, finely chop them and mix with cognac to make the stuffing.
4.	Stuff the prunes with the walnut mixture. Be careful not to overstuff as it may cause the prunes to burst.
5.	Heat the chocolate couverture over a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring frequently until melted.
6.	Using a fork, dip each stuffed prune into the melted chocolate to coat it. Lift out and tap the fork against the edge of the bowl to remove any excess chocolate.
7.	Place the chocolate-covered prune on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
8.	Allow the chocolate to harden and set at room temperature for about 2 hours.
