• Yield 25 -30 depending on size
• Ready in 105 minutes

Ingredients

• ½ cup butter (softened)
• ¾ cup packed brown sugar
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
• ½ cup chopped walnuts (optional, I did not add them)
• 1 ½ pounds semisweet chocolate candy coating (chopped)

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the flour, sweetened condensed milk and vanilla; mix well. Stir in the chocolate chips and walnuts, if using.
2. Shape into 1-inch balls; place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Loosely cover and freeze for 1-2 hours or until firm. (The dough softens quickly at room temperature so it works best if they are frozen, not just chilled in the refrigerator.)
3. In a microwave safe bowl, melt candy coating, stirring often until smooth. Dip balls in coating; place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets.
4. Refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes. If desired, melt remaining candy coating and drizzle over candies. Store in refrigerator.

Let the center settle before you cut it, or the slices will slump.
