Hand dipped Buttercream Candy


2 lbs powdered sugar
1 can sweetened condensed milk
2 T vanilla extract
1 bag semi sweet chocolate chips
1 t coconut oil
Assorted flavorings, see below

In a large bowl, combine half powdered sugar with half milk and vanilla. Stir until well combined and very smooth. Add the following flavorings, as desired:

     1 bag sweetened flake coconut, or
     1/4 c cocoa powder plus 1 stick softened butter, or
     1/4 c cocoa powder plus 1 stick softened butter plus 1/2 c chopped walnuts
   
Shape into small rounds, approximately one or two bite sized, and refrigerate until firm.

While candies are firming, melt 1 bag semi sweet chocolate chips with 1 t coconut oil. Dip chilled candies individually into chocolate coating. Replace in refrigerator to set.

Place candies in individual paper liners and store in the refrigerator.

Note: Shaping flavored candies into different shapes prevents guesswork when selecting a candy to try (i.e. triangle = chocolate walnut, round = chocolate creme, square = coconut creme, etc.)
