Avon skin so soft 2nd question
Just received my order of 4 bottles of this, but I can't get any of them to work! Before I contact Avon, I thought it worth asking on here just in case the fault lies with me (perfectly possible).

Replacement for brandy in recipe
Does anyone know what I could use instead of brandy in a recipe? Its a pastry case with a chocolate, prune and brandy filling. I swap cider and white wine in recipes for apple juice but cannot imagine what brandy tastes like so don't know what to choose! Thanks.
