In small saucepan, combine milk and cocoa. Whisk until there are no
lumps of cocoa. Cook over medium heat, stirring for about 5 min or
until thickened. (This cooks out the raw cocoa taste.) In another
small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over water; let stand for 5 min to
soften. Heat over low heat, stirring, until gelatin dissolves. Stir
into cocoa mixture. Stir in sweetener (artificial sweetener like
SugarTwin equivalent to 1/2 cup sugar) and brandy extract. Remove
from heat. Pour into 8 inch square baking dish. Let stand at room
temperature 4 hours or until firm. To remove from pan, cut around
edges with a sharp knife. Place dish in shallow pan of hot water for
about 30 seconds just to slightly soften bottom. Loosen one corner,
then quickly flip gel out onto clean cutting surface. With sharp
knife, cut evenly in 10 one way and 10 the other way. Place in
container, cover and refrigerate. Will keep up to 1 week in
