Cookie Dough Truffles

From http://Foodnetwork.com (but modified slightly by Shar/ notes in italics)

Ingredients
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
• 3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (I used more like 3tsp)
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk (I used Fat Free)
• 1/2 cup semisweet mini chocolate morsels (I used regular size & chopped them up in a food processor)
• 1 cup finely chopped pecans (I toasted these up in a dry skillet for a while)
• 1 1/2 pounds chocolate bark candy coating, melted (I used Bakers brand, mixed w/ Nestle milk chocolate chips)

Directions
In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and milk. Gradually beat in flour. Add chocolate morsels and pecans, mixing well. Shape into 1-inch balls (I used a cookie scoop). Place on waxed paper; chill 2 hours (I wrapped the cookie sheets with plastic and threw them in the freezer overnight).
*Cook's Note: Since the dough is sticky, roll your fingers into flour. This will make it easier to roll.
Melt chocolate bark candy coating in a double boiler. Using 2 forks, dip cookie balls into candy coating to cover. Place on waxed paper and chill to set. Store in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
