Title: FUDGY BONBONS & OPTIONS
Categories: Cookies
Yield: 60 cookies

1 ea 12oz pkg chocolate chips
-semi-sweet
1/4 c Butter or margarine
1 cn Condensed milk, sweetened
2 c Unbleached or all purpose
-flour
1/2 c Nuts, finely chopped (opt)
1 ts Vanilla
60 ea Candy kisses, chocolate
-SEE OPTIONS
2 oz White baking bar or vanilla
-flavored candy coating
1 ts Shortening or oil

OPTIONS FOR CHOCOLATE KISSES: 1. If you like caramel
centers, take 3oz of Kraft
Caramels and add 1TB of water, heat until melted.
Pour onto a plate so the mix will make a thin, 1/4"
layer, place in FREEZER until it is hard. Then,
when dough is ready, remove the hardened caramel
from the freezer, cut small strips 1/2" wide of the
caramel. Cut these into 1/2" bits, place in center
of cookie dough and roll -- make certain dough
completely surrounds the caramel. It will run out
if not completely enclosed. Still good eatin',
just not as pretty. 3 oz will do two recipes
probably. 2. Get bite size Reese Peanut Butter
Cups, cut into 2
pieces, and do same as above. 3. In place of (2),
use crunchy peanut butter, using
the BACK of a 1/4 t to touch into the peanut butter
and get a dab to place on the cookie 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. Try it yourself.
Peanut butter has stronger flavor than the Reeses
Cups, so only a dab is needed. 4. 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. In medium sauacepan, combine chocolate chips &
butter, cooking & stirring over very low heat until
chips are melted & smooth. Add sweetened condensed
milk & mix well.

Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup & level off.
Combine flour & nuts ~if using- in medium mixing bowl,
add chocolate mixture and vanilla and mix well. Shape
1 scant TB of dough around each candy kiss, covering
completely. Place on ungreased cookie sheet, 1"
apart. Bake 6 to 8 minutes. SEE NOTE 2 jgb

The remainder of the recipe directions was to remove
the cookies, even though then appear to be soft and
glisten. They will hrden. When cool, heat vanilla
flavored candy coating and the oil, drizzle over
cookies. This is the Pillsbury cookoff winner, and I
posted it before. The options I have played with.
They work. Good fun to all. Jerry G. Brewster, MPHS,

Dee I have 7 recipes to post for you. The first 3 are

chilling the dough be sure to do that.
