Fudgy Bonbons Recipe
- 1 (12 ounce) package semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup margarine or butter
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated)
- 2 cups Pillsbury BEST® All Purpose or Unbleached Flour
- 1/2 cup finely chopped nuts (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 60 milk chocolate candy drops or pieces, unwrapped
- 2 ounces white chocolate baking bar or vanilla-flavored candy coating
- 1 teaspoon shortening or oil
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F. In medium saucepan, combine chocolate chips and margarine; cook and stir over very low heat until chips are melted and smooth. (Mixture will be stiff.) Add condensed milk; mix well.
- Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. In large bowl, combine flour, nuts, chocolate mixture and vanilla; mix well. Shape 1 tablespoon dough (use measuring spoon) around each milk chocolate candy, covering completely. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 6 to 8 minutes. DO NOT OVERBAKE. Cookies will be soft and appear shiny but will become firm as they cool. Remove from cookie sheets. Cool 15 minutes or until completely cooled.
- Meanwhile, in small saucepan, combine baking bar and shortening; cook and stir over low heat until melted and smooth. Drizzle over cooled cookies. Let stand until set. Store in tightly covered container.
