Melissa's Corporate Chefs
1 package Tamale Kits
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 bars milk chocolate; each broken into 12 pieces (each bar weighing 1 1/2 ounces)
2 cups Dessert Sauces - use Chocolate Sauce, Caramel Sauce, strawberry coulis or whipped cream for serving (optional)
Prepare the Masa into Tamale Dough.
In a large bowl, combine the masa, sugar and vanilla until well blended.
To assemble the tamales, place about 1/4 cup of the masa mixture in the lower half of the smooth side of a corn husk.
Using the back of a wet tablespoon, make an indentation down the middle of the masa and fill with 6 pieces of the chocolate.
Fold both sides of the husk in toward the center; fold over top. Repeat for the remaining tamales.
Steam the tamales for 55 minutes or until done.
Serve plain or topped with one or more of the optional ingredients.
