Mary Anne Tyndall's Pillsbury Bake-Off grand prize-winning recipe:

Preheat oven to 350'F. In medium saucepan, combine chocolate chips and butter; cook and stir over very low heat until chips are melted and smooth. Add sweetened condensed milk; mix well.

Lightly grease spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. In medium bowl, combine flour, optional nuts, chocolate mixture and vanilla; mix well. Shape 1 tablespoon (use measuring spoon) of dough around each candy kiss, covering completely. Place 1" apart on ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake at 350'F. for 6-8 minutes. Cookies will be soft and appear shiny but will become firm as they cool. Do not overbake. Remove from cookie sheets and cool.

For the glaze: Combine white baking bar and shortening in small saucepan. Over low heat, stir until mixture is melted and smooth.

Drizzle over cookies. Store in tightly covered container.
