Ingredients:one 12-oz. package semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup butter
one 14-oz. can sweetened condensed milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. vanilla
approximately 60 Hershey Hugs unwrapped
2 oz. white-chocolate baking bar
Preparation:
Heat oven to 350 degrees and in a medium saucepan, combine chocolate chips and butter. Melt over low heat until smooth. Add condensed milk and mix well. Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup and level off.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, chocolate mixture and vanilla. Mix well. Shape one tablespoon (use a measuring spoon) of dough around each Hug, covering completely. Place one inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at for six to eight minutes. The cookies should be soft and appear shiny, but they become firm as they cool. DO NOT OVERBAKE. Remove from cookie sheet and cool.
While the cookies are cooling, melt the white-chocolate baking bars according to the directions given on the package. Drizzle over the cookies. Store in an airtight container when completely cooled.
* Note: You may substitute Hershey's Kisses, with or without almonds, or Hershey Hugs with almonds.
Yield: approximately 4 dozen
