Fudgy Bonbons And Options

Ingredients

Directions

OPTIONS FOR CHOCOLATE KISSES:

If you like caramel centers, take 3ounces of caramel candies and add 1tablespoon of water, heat until melted.

Pour onto a plate so the mix will make a thin, 1/4 inchlayer, place in FREEZER until it is hard.

Then, when dough is ready, remove the hardened caramel from the freezer, cut small strips 1/2 inch wide of the caramel.

Cut these into 1/2 inch bits, place in center of cookie dough and roll -- make certain dough completely surrounds the It will run out if not completely enclosed.

Still good eatin', just not as pretty.

3 ounces will do two recipes probably.

Get bite size Reese Peanut Butter Cups, cut into 2 pieces, and do same as above.

In place of (2), use crunchy peanut butter, using the BACK of a 1/4 teaspoon to touch dough before rolling.

Back of spoon allows peanut butter to be wiped onto the dough.

Using inside spoon did not work for me.

Hard to get out.

Peanut butter has stronger flavor than the Reeses Cups, so only a dab is needed.

I like mint chocolate.

Found some Mintohs at Kroger.

These are for candy making, baking, etc.,

Light mint flavor.

Size of a quarter.

Place one of these in the dough in place of other options.

I tried the chocolate covered peppermint candy that is foil wrapped.

It was TOO strong a mint.

Overpowering.

But that is my taste.

Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

In medium sauacepan, combine chocolate chips andamp;amp; butter, cooking and; stirring over very low heat until chips are melted and smooth.

Add sweetened condensed milk andmix well.

Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup and level off.

Combine flour and; nuts ~if using- in medium mixing bowl, add chocolate mixture and vanilla and mix well.

Shape 1 scant tablespoon of dough around each candy kiss, covering completely.

Place on ungreased cookie sheet, 1 inch apart.

Bake 6 to 8 minutes.

The remainder of the recipe directions was to remove the cookies, even though then appear to be soft and glisten.

They will harden.

When cool, heat vanilla flavored candy coating and the oil, drizzle over cookies.
