Chocolate Cinnamon Mud Balls

2 cups sugar
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tbsp light corn syrup
1-1/2 squares (1-1/2oz) semisweet baking chocolate, chopped
1 to 2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
2-1/2 cups (15oz) semisweet chocolate chips
1 tbsp shortening
1/2 cup ground nuts, optional

Butter the sides of a heavy saucepan, add the first 5 ingredients
Cook and stir over medium high heat until sugar is dissolved
Cook, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reads 238F (soft ball stage)
Remove from the heat
Cool, without stirring, until mixture reaches 110F

Transfer to a large mixing bowl; add cinnamon, vanilla and salt
Beat until light colored and stiff enough to knead, about 2 minutes
Lightly grease hands, knead mixture in bowl for 2 minutes or until smooth
Roll into 1 inch balls, cover and freeze for 20 minutes

Melt chips and shortening, dip the balls, shaking off excess
Roll in nuts if desired
Place on waxed paper lined baking sheets to harden
Yield 3 dozen
