"This recipe goes back about 40 years. My father loved anything with maple flavoring, so my mother tweaked a brownie recipe to suit his tastes. She would be so happy to know her recipe is a runner up after all these years." â??Betsy King, Duluth, Minnesota

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup butter, cubed
7-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 cups chopped walnuts
2 teaspoons maple flavoring
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 cups (24 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
2 teaspoons shortening

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, combine milk and butter. Cook and stir over low heat until butter is melted. Place the confectioners' sugar in a large bowl; add milk mixture and beat until smooth. Stir in the walnuts, maple flavoring and vanilla. Roll into 3/4-in. balls; place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
  • In a microwave, melt the chips, bittersweet chocolate and shortening; stir until smooth. Dip balls into chocolate; allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper; let stand until set. Store in an airtight container.
  • Yield: about 13 dozen.
  • Editor’s Note: Shape and freeze the balls of maple candy for up to 2 months if desired. Thaw candy before dipping into melted chocolate mixture.
