Elk Droppings



These have been a family favorite for as long as I can remember. And while the name is less than flattering, they are truly addicting (just ask my friends and coworkers, they ask me for them every Christmas).  You could always call them Reindeer poop! What you will need is:

1 cup Choco Chips
3 tablespoons corn syrup
1/2 cup canned condensed milk
2 1/2 crushed vanilla wafer cookies
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup sugar

Melt choco chips using double boiler (or microwave) add corn syrup and canned milk. Remove from heat.
Combine crushed wafers, chopped walnuts and 1/2 cup of the powdered sugar (set aside other 1/2 cup)
Add the dry ingredients to the chocolate mixture and mix well. Once thoroughly combined set aside for 30 minutes to cool.
In separate bowls pour your sugar and powdered sugar. start rolling your mixture into ball forms (i do mine about the size of a ping pong ball) then roll them in either the sugar or powdered sugar. If you find the mixture is too stickey just walk away and let it set for another 20 minutes or so. It will be alot easier to work with.
Store in an airtight container in a cool place, I put mine in the garage, for at least 3 days, a few more is better. Yes I said 3 days. You'll just have to trust me, these just taste better after a few days.
