It's Cookie Exchange Day...Chocolate Mint Truffles...

            So, i am 'bending' the rules...shhhh...don't tell Master anyone!  This is more of a candy than a cookie...but
   .....they are quick and easy
  ......depending on what you roll them in, they look very Christmassy
 .........they are chocolate...and they are yummy...and they store well...
...........lastly, it is easy to get the kids involved...

 Chocolate Mint Truffles
Makes about 6 dozen

 1 (10 ounce) bag mint chocolate chips
1 (6 ounce) bags semi-sweet chocolate chips  ( 1 cup)
1 (14 ounce) can EAGLE brand Sweetened Condensed Milk (Not evaporated milk)

Finely chopped nuts, flaked coconuts, any colored sprinkles, condensed cocoa, mini chocolate chips, colored sugar..or be creative...

 In heavy sauce pan over low  heat, melt chips in sweetened condensed milk.  Chill 2 hours, or until firm. Shape into 1 inch balls...or smaller for more or bite sized...roll in any of the above coatings.  chill 1 hour or until firm. Store covered at room temperature.

 **Microwave** in 1 quart glass measuring cup, combine chips and sweetened condensed milk. Cook on 100% power (high) 3 minutes or until
chips melt...stirring after 1 1/2 minutes. Stir til smooth....proceed as above.
Merry Christmas...

    I always fail at candy. Anything that has instructions that include hard-ball or soft-crack is going to be a disaster. Now this sounds like something I could actually do! Sounds yummy, too.

    Hugs,
