2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/3 cup milk
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (mini chips work great!)
14 oz candy coating (or chocolate to melt)
1. Beat butter and sugars in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add milk and vanilla. Beat until mixed.
2. Stir in flour and salt. (Or use the mixer on low speed.) Stir in chocolate chips.
3. Chill dough for 1 hour, covered.
4. Form 1" balls, placing on a wax lined cookie sheet. Freeze for half an hour.
5. Melt candy coating (or chocolate) according to package directions. Using toothpicks as a dipping tool, dip each ball in the candy coating. Chill until set.
6. Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to a week.
Notes: Wilton has over a dozen colors of candy melts, so you can coordinate them with holidays or just go with plain chocolate. They are fairly easy to make, but they do require planning ahead for all the chilling and freezing time.
Recipe Origination: Vince Romanelli posted it on my FB page back in 2011, and I finally got around to making them last Christmas. I should done it sooner - they're delicious! It's from eat-drink-smile.com
