Christmas Candy

Hey! We just tried a recipe for some of the best (and easiest) Christmas cany! I thought you might enjoy having it. It was the Grand Prize winner in an issue of Taste of Home magazine.




Cookie Dough Truffles


1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour (I had to use more)
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 miniature semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1-1/2 pounds semisweet chocolate candy coating, chopped


In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the flour, milk and vanilla; mix well. Stir in the chocolate chips and walnuts. Shape into 1-inch balls; place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Loosely cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours or until firm.

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt candy coating, stirring often until smooth. Dip balls in coating; place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes. If desired, remelt remaining cany coating and drizzle over candies. Store in the refrigerator.

Yield: 5-1/2 dozen.


Hope you enjoy them! We love them. They were really fast and easy, and made of ingredients I usually have on hand. Happy Holidays!!!
