1 c Soft butter 1/4 c Finely chopped parsley 2 Shallots, finely chopped 1 Clove garlic, finely chopped 2 tb Brandy 32 Canned French snails 32 Snail shells 1. Preheat the oven to 350 deg. F. 2. Combine the butter, parsley, shallots, garlic, and brandy in a bowl and blend well. 3. Place a snail in each shell and fill the cavity with the seasoned butter. Place on a baking pan and bake for twelve minutes. Serve hot, as an appetizer, on individual snail dishes or on small folded napkins on plates, to keep the shells from sliding about.
