This recipe for rich and fudgy candies was a $5 winner on Feb. 7, 1944, for Mrs. Coumbe of Chicago. Make them a day ahead and refrigerate until you’re ready to serve.
1 cup milk
1/2 cup sifted all-purpose flour,
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg yolk
2 teaspoons butter or margarine
8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, melted
Chopped nuts
Combine milk, flour, brown sugar, egg yolk and butter in top of double boiler. Cook, stirring constantly, until thick enough to hold shape, 12 to 15 minutes. Stir in chocolate. Refrigerate until completely cooled, about 1 hour. Place nuts on plate. Roll chocolate mixture into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball into chopped nuts. Chill until firm, at least 1 hour. Store refrigerated.
