Directions

1 Heat oven to 350°F. In medium saucepan, combine chocolate chips and margarine; cook and stir over very low heat until chips are melted and smooth. (Mixture will be stiff.) Add condensed milk; mix well.
2 Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. In large bowl, combine flour, nuts, chocolate mixture and vanilla; mix well. Shape 1 tablespoon dough (use measuring spoon) around each milk chocolate candy, covering completely. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
3 Bake at 350°F. for 6 to 8 minutes. DO NOT OVERBAKE. Cookies will be soft and appear shiny but will become firm as they cool. Remove from cookie sheets. Cool 15 minutes or until completely cooled.
4 Meanwhile, in small saucepan, combine baking bar and shortening; cook and stir over low heat until melted and smooth. Drizzle over cooled cookies. Let stand until set. Store in tightly covered container.

I was a finalist at the Bake-off the year this recipe won. I have made them every year at the holidays since then. Thank you, Mary Tyndall, for an impressive little candy-cookie recipe!

I have been making these cookies for over 10 years and they are a favorite. Christmas just isn't the same without these! I have found that working with the dough and candies on the kitchen table, away from the heat of the oven, has helped in the handling. Also, using a scoop for the dough has worked out great the past couple years.

My family and friends loves these bon bons. I use different hersey kisses for the inside. They are always a hit when I bring them.

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have made this every year and always get complements on them. The only hard part to making them is to get them shiny. I would give this dessert a A++++. Great to give to Santa during Christmas Time.
