Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, softened
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2⅓ cup all-purpose flour
• ¾ cup finely chopped nuts
• 42 36 to 48 milk-chocolate Kisses
• confectioners' sugar

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Cream the butter, sugar and vanilla in a large mixer bowl until light and fluffy. Add the flour and chopped nuts; blend well.
2. Remove the foil from the candies. Shape about 1 tablespoon of dough around each candy, covering it completely. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for seven to 10 minutes or until set but not brown.
3. Cool; roll in confectioners' sugar, and store in an airtight container. Roll in sugar again before serving.
