Ingredients

• 1 cup well packed Dixie Crystals Dark Brown Sugar
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/4 cup evaporated milk
• 2 tablespoons dark rum (optional)

• 2 cups Dixie Crystals Confectioners Powdered Sugar

1. Combine brown sugar, salt, vanilla extract, butter, milk and rum in a saucepan. Stir to a boil and remove from heat. Whisk in milk chocolate and allow to cool at room temperature.
2. Add powdered sugar in 1/2 cup amounts stirring the mixture smooth between additions. If batter becomes too firm transfer on a board dusted with powdered sugar and mix by hand.
3. The batter will set and become firmer in 10-20 minutes. Shape in 1 inch round balls and roll in chopped nuts.
4. Place on parchment or wax paper and place in refrigerator.
