1

Heat oven to 375°F. In medium bowl, mix cookie mix, cocoa, 1/2 cup softened butter, water and egg with spoon until soft dough forms. Stir in toffee bits.

2

Shape dough into 48 (1 1/4-inch) balls. Place balls 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets.

3

Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until edges are set. Cool 2 minutes on cookie sheets. Using back of round metal measuring 1/2 teaspoon, make 1-inch circle indentation in center of each cookie, wiping spoon occasionally to reduce sticking. Remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.

4

In small microwavable bowl, microwave microwave milk chocolate chips, whipping cream and remaining 1 tablespoon butter uncovered on High 30 seconds; stir. Continue to microwave in 10-second increments until chips are melted and mixture can be stirred smooth. Spoon 1/2 teaspoonful of the filling into indentation in each cookie. Top with nonpareils. Let stand about 2 hours or until filling is set. Store covered in refrigerator.

Tip

Substitute chopped toasted pecans or almonds for nonpareils.
