Why This Recipe Is A Must Try
These treats are a perfect blend of rich chocolate and sweet cookie dough flavors without any baking required. They come together quickly and are great for satisfying your sweet tooth with minimal effort. Plus, they’re fun to make and even better to share.
Step 1
Lin a baking sheet with waxed paper. In a large bowl, cream together the brown sugar and butter with an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and mix again until well combined. Slowly add the flour, beating until the dough comes together smoothly. Then, stir in the sweetened condensed milk until everything is well blended. Gently fold in the chocolate chips and pecans.
Step 2
Roll the dough into small 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Pop them into the fridge for about two hours so they firm up nicely.
Step 3
While the dough chills, melt the chocolate bark in a double boiler over simmering water. Keep stirring and scraping the sides with a spatula to prevent burning. Once the chocolate is melted, use two forks to dip each chilled dough ball into the chocolate, making sure it’s fully coated. Set the dipped treats back on the waxed paper and refrigerate again until the chocolate hardens, which should take about an hour. Enjoy!

Yes, this recipe uses heat-treated flour and no raw eggs, making it safe to eat as is.
How long can I store these treats?
Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Can I substitute pecans with other nuts or leave them out?
Absolutely, you can use walnuts, almonds, or omit nuts entirely if you prefer.
What if I don’t have a double boiler to melt the chocolate?
You can melt the chocolate in a microwave in short 20-second bursts, stirring between each until smooth.
Can I make the dough balls larger or smaller?
Yes, just adjust the chilling and dipping time accordingly; smaller balls firm up faster.
Do I need to chill the dough balls before dipping in chocolate?
Yes, chilling helps the dough firm up so the chocolate coating sticks better and looks neat.
Can I freeze these treats for longer storage?
