Title: Chocolate & Armagnac Slice
Categories: English, Dessert
Yield: 1 Serving
You might want to add "Booze" to your categories. Armagnac is a fancy
brandy - cousin to cognac.
Armagnac and Cognac are both types of brandy produced in specific
regions of France. Cognac comes from the Cognac region and Armagnac
from the Armagnac region. Cognac is double distilled, resulting in a
smoother, more refined flavor, while Armagnac is single-distilled,
preserving more robust and rustic characteristics.
