CHOCOLATE BALLS

Recipe courtesy of Lois Robinson
*These are my personal favorite cookies from Grandma’s extensive cookie recipe collection.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 1 cup crushed graham crackers
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 3/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • More chopped walnuts for topping

 

Directions:

Combine sugar, evaporated milk and butter in a sauce pan. Boil on the stove for 10 minutes or until the mixture reaches 220 F with a candy thermometer. Remove the mixture from the heat and mix in the chocolate chips to melt. Next add the flour, graham crackers, nuts, and vanilla. Mix well. Drop a spoonful onto wax paper to slightly cool. Once manageable, roll into a ball then into crushed walnut topping.
