Fudgy Bon-Bons

This "sweet treat" was submitted by Lindsay Terrill.
1 (12 oz) pkg. (2 cups) Semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk (I used fat-free)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup finely chopped nuts, if desired
1 teaspoon vanilla
60 hershey kisses (unwrapped)
2 oz. white choc. chips, or baking bar or white candy coating
1 tsp shortening or oil

Heat oven to 350 F. In a medium saucepan, combine chocolate chips and butter; cook and stir over very low heat until chips are melted and smooth. Add sweetened condensed milk; mix well.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, nuts, chocolate mixture and vanilla; mix well. Shape 1 tablespoon dough (use measuring spoon) around each candy, covering completely. Roll into a ball. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake at 350 F for 6 to 8 minutes. DO NOT OVERBAKE. Cookies will be soft and shiny but will become firm as they cool. Remove from cookie sheets; cool.
In small saucepan, combine white chocolate and shortening; cook and stir over low heat until melted and smooth. Drizzle over cookies. Store in tightly covered container.
