Ingredients

48 servings

•

1 cup butter, softened
•

1 cup white sugar
•

1 cup packed brown sugar
•

2 eggs
•

2 teaspoons vanilla extract
•

2.25 cups all-purpose flour

•

0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
•

1 teaspoon baking soda
•

1 cup chopped walnuts
•

1 tablespoon white sugar

48 chocolate-covered caramel candies

Instructions

Beat butter in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually beat in 1 cup white sugar and brown sugar. Beat in eggs and vanilla.
Combine flour, cocoa, and baking soda in a separate bowl; gradually add to butter mixture, beating well. Stir in 1/2 cup walnuts. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours.
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease two baking sheets.
Combine remaining 1/2 cup walnuts with 1 tablespoon sugar. Divide chilled dough into 4 parts. Work with one part at a time, leaving the remainder in the refrigerator until needed. Divide each part into 12 pieces. Quickly press each piece of dough around a chocolate-covered caramel, then roll into a ball. Dip the tops into the nut mixture, then place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets with the nuts facing up.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. Let cool for 3 to 4 minutes on the baking sheets before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
