Cookie Dough Truffles

Cookie Dough Truffles ~ Tiffany Sheppard

½ cup butter, softened

¾ cup packed brown sugar

2 cups flour

1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk

1-teaspoon vanilla

½ cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips

½ 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 candy coating and drizzle over candies.  Store in the refrigerator.

I did not use the nuts.  I used 1 cup of the mini chocolate chips instead of adding the nuts. I also just used chocolate chips to dip the dough in.  Just remember to add about 1 tablespoon of shortening for every cup of chips that you use.
