Ingredients

12 ounces Semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup Butter or margarine
14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
2 cups All-purpose flour or unbleached flour
1/2 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
60 pieces Milk chocolate candy kisses (unwrapped)
2 ounces White baking bar or vanilla flavored candy coating
1 teaspoon Shortening or vegetable oil

Directions

1
Preheat your oven to 350F (175C) and grease a baking sheet with butter or line it with parchment paper.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter, sweetened condensed milk, flour, chopped nuts (if using), and vanilla extract. Mix until a soft, uniform dough forms.
3
Divide the dough into 60 equal portions, rolling each into a small ball, approximately 3/4 inch in diameter. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet.
4
Bake the dough balls for 10-12 minutes, or until they are firm to the touch but still soft inside. Do not overbake. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet.
5
Once cooled, place one milk chocolate candy kiss in the center of each dough ball. Gently mold the dough around the candy kiss to encase it completely, ensuring no holes remain.
6
Melt the white baking bar or candy coating with the shortening or vegetable oil in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring in between until smooth.
7
Dip each fudge-covered candy kiss into the melted white coating, ensuring it is fully covered. Use a fork to lift them out and allow excess coating to drip off.
8
Place the coated bon bons back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for 30-45 minutes until the coating is set.
9
Remove from the refrigerator and serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
