Every Christmas I give plates of candy to family, friends and co-workers. It's one thing everyone looks forward to, and these candies get the most compliments. Ingredients:
1 cup butter, melted |
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk |
3 pounds confectioners' sugar |
cookies & creme bonbons: |
1/2 cup cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookie crumbs |
1 pound white candy coating, melted |
chocolate-covered cherries: |
54 maraschino cherries (about two 10-ounce jars), patted dry |
1 pound milk chocolate candy coating, melted |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine butter and milk. Gradually beat in confectionersâ sugar until a smooth dough is formed. Divide in half; cover with plastic wrap.
2. For bonbons, stir cookie crumbs into one portion of dough. Shape into 1-in. balls. Dip into white candy coating; allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Chill until firm.
3. For chocolate-covered cherries, shape remaining portion of dough into 1-in. balls; flatten to 2-in. circles. Wrap each circle around a cherry and gently reshape into a ball. Dip into milk chocolate coating; allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Chill until firm. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 9 dozen.
