You can use any type of nut you wish in the candy. For a darker chocolate taste, use all semisweet chocolate instead of part milk chocolate. But I think a bit of milk chocolate adds a delicious depth of flavor.
INGREDIENTS:
* 1 cup whipping cream
* 2 Tbsp. whipping cream
* 1/4 cup butter
* 12 oz. semisweet chocolate, chopped
* 5 oz. milk chocolate, cut into chunks
* 1 tsp. vanilla
* 2 cups finely chopped cashews
PREPARATION:
In a medium saucepan, bring cream and butter to a boil. Remove pan from heat. Add chocolates and vanilla and stir until mixture is creamy and smooth. Refrigerate about 2 hours until candy is firm enough to handle easily. Form into 1" balls, then roll in chopped cashews. Store in refrigerator.
