Fudgy Bonbons

1 (12 oz) pkg chocolate chips
1/4 cup butter
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
2 cups flour
1/2 cup finely chopped nuts (optional)
1 tsp vanilla
60 Hugs candies, unwrapped
White chocolate chips (optional)

Heat oven to 350 degrees. In medium saucepan, combine chocolate chips & butter; cook and stir over low heat until chips are melted and smooth. Add sweetened condensed milk and mix well. In a bowl, combine flour, nuts, chocolate mixture, and vanilla; mix well. Shape 1 tbsp of dough around each Hugs candy, covering completely. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 6-8 minutes (do not overbake). Drizzle with melted white chocolate, if desired. Makes 5 dozen.

(These look cute with the white chocolate, but allow a long time for the chocolate to set up completely before covering with plastic or whatever. I usually melt the white chips in a ziploc bag in the microwave for 30 seconds at at time, then snip a tiny bit off one of the corners of the bag, and squeeze the chocolate over the cookies in a zigzag pattern.)
