Directions
-
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips, butter, and sweetened condensed milk together, stirring constantly until smooth and well combined.
-
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and finely chopped nuts (if using).
-
Using a spoon, carefully drop a small amount of the chocolate mixture over each unwrapped milk chocolate kiss to coat it partially, ensuring the chocolate mixture covers about half of each kiss.
-
Place the coated kisses on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
-
Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes or until the chocolate coating is completely firm.

Note
To unwrap the milk chocolate kisses easily, run them under warm water for a few seconds, then peel off the foil wrappers.
Store finished bonbons in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Let them sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving for the best texture.
For a variation, sprinkle crushed candy canes or colored sugar on the wet chocolate coating before refrigerating for a festive look.
Ensure the chocolate mixture is not too hot when coating the kisses, as it may melt the center. If the mixture becomes too thick in the fridge, let it sit out for a minute before coating more kisses.
