Butterscotch Balls 1 cup well packed Dark Brown Sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 2 tablespoons butter 1/4 cup evaporated milk Optional: 2 tablespoons dark rum 3 ounces milk chocolate, chopped in small pieces 2 cups Confectioners Powdered Sugar 1 cup finely chopped nuts Combine brown sugar, salt, vanilla extract, butter, milk and rum in a saucepan. Stir to a boil and remove from heat. Whisk in milk chocolate and allow to cool at room temperature. Add powdered sugar in 1/2 cup amounts stirring the mixture smooth between additions.
