Chocolate Trufflle Disaster - Please Help!!

Hi
I'm hoping you can save my truffles - I've made them before and they've worked fine - I don't know what I've done wrong.
I've left the mixture over night to set and come to make them today but the mix is just too soft. The recipe I've used is:
300g Dark Choc
300ml Cream
50g Butter
5tbsp Brandy
Is there anything I can do to firm them up? Or do you have any suggestions as to what I can do with the semi solid mass I have left? Was supposed to be giving them as gifts tonight but I suspect I'll not be able to
Hope you can help - am feeling like a rubbish domestic goddess today

Some drinking chocolate powder mixed in would firm them up. Could use cocoa but not sure how that would taste.0
-
How about icing sugar?0
-
Add fine biscuit or cake crumbs and stir through. Should firm them up nicely.0
-
Melting more dark chocolate and mixing all together again. Leave overnight to firm up. That should do the trick. (Learned from past experience unfortunately, think I'd been rather heavy handed with the brandy!)0
-
Stick it in the fridge for a while as well - this is similar to a ganache, and that gets quite solid once it's chilled.0
