Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

3/4 cup light brown sugar

1 tsp vanilla

2 cups white flour

1- 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk (read: NOT evaporated milk)

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

1/2 cup chopped walnuts (if you’re going to skimp out on the nuts, double up on the chips)

2 bags of semisweet chocolate chips

Preparation

  1. Combine butter and brown sugar. Beat with a hand mixer until light and fluffy.

  2. Add vanilla.

  3. Alternately beat in sweetened condensed milk and flour.

  4. Retire your mixer for a sturdy spatula or spoon and mix in chocolate chips and nuts.

  5. Roll into one-inch balls. Place on waxed paper and refrigerate for a couple of hours. Don’t try to cut corners here… you need the balls cold and hard.

  6. Over a double broiler (or if you know what you’re doing, your microwave), melt the chocolate. With a toothpick, dip the truffles into the melted chocolate. Place back on lined baking sheets. Refrigerate until the chocolate is hard
