Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 14 oz Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Almonds, chopped
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips while stirring continuously to prevent burning.
Add the sweetened condensed milk to the melted chocolate and stir until fully combined and smooth.
Remove the saucepan from heat and mix in the vanilla extract.
Fold in the chopped almonds until evenly distributed throughout the chocolate mixture.
Let the mixture cool slightly until it is easier to handle but not fully hardened (about 5-10 minutes).
Using clean hands, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Roll each chocolate ball in the powdered sugar until fully coated.
Refrigerate the balls for at least 1 hour or until firm.
Serve and enjoy, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
