Ingredients

• ½ cup (1 sticks) butter, room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• ¾ cup packed brown sugar
• 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
• 2 cups all purpose flour
• ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 pound dark chocolate candy coating

7. In a bowl melt dark chocolate candy coating.
8. Dip the cookie dough balls into the chocolate and place on parchment paper.
9. Let the truffles sit until hard, about quarter-hour.
10. Once set, remelt remaining candy coating.
11. Place in a small baggie and cut a small hole in one corner.
12. Carefully drizzle chocolate over truffles.
13. Store in the refrigerator and serve cold. These can also be frozen for longer storage.
