Creamy and sinfully rich, these chocolate candies are coated with a fine layer of almonds. A touch of vanilla adds a warm note to this sweet confection.

 

What You Need:
1/2 cup of evaporated milk
1/4 cup of granulated sugar
1 & 3/4 cups (11.5-oz. package) of milk chocolate chips
1/2 to 1 teaspoon of almond or vanilla extract
1 cup of sliced almonds, finely chopped, toasted

 

What to Do:
STEP 1) Combine the evaporated milk and sugar in a small, heavy-duty saucepan. Bring it to a full rolling boil over medium-low heat, stirring constantly. Boil; stirring constantly for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.


STEP 2) Stir in the chocolate chips. Stir vigorously until the mixture is smooth. Stir in the almond extract. Refrigerate for 1 & 1/2 to 2 hours. Shape into 1-inch balls; roll in the almonds. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

 
STEP 3) As Always Enjoy!
