Whisk soft butter until creamy and light.

Sieve powdered sugar onto to butter and beat until well combined and fluffy.

In a medium-sized bowl melt chocolate either in 30-increments in the microwave (stir after every 30 seconds to prevent burning) or in a double boiler.Add the melted chocolate to the butter-sugar mix and combine well.

Stir in Kirschwasser and vanilla extract.

Cover the bowl and allow to rest for about 1 hour in the fridge.

Use a small cookie scoop or a small spoon to scoop of a small amount of the mixture. Roll between hands to form a small ball. This works best if you wear gloves and occasionally rinse your hands under cold water.

Roll in dark chocolate shavings, cocoa powder or powdered sugar.

Place on a large plate and allow to rest.
