In separate bowl beat butter and sugar.  Add egg and cooled chocolate.
Slowly add dry ingredients.
Add milk and spoon onto plastic wrap.  Wrap and chill in refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Shape dough into 1 inch balls.  Roll in powdered sugar.  The thicker the better...and don't forget to use the help of any little assistants you may have running around to help make an enormous powdery mess!!! wonderful Christmas memories.  :)
