"My family always smiles when I fix these chocolates," writes Ginny Truwe of Mankato, Minnesota. "They recall the winter when I put trays of the candy centers on top of my van in the garage to freeze before dipping.

Steps:
- Place the bowl of a stand mixer (or any large heatproof bowl, if using a handheld mixer) in an ice-water bath. Combine maple syrup, oil, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, undisturbed, over medium-high heat. Continue boiling, without stirring, until a candy thermometer registers 235 degrees (soft-ball stage), 6 to 8 minutes.
- Immediately transfer syrup to bowl in ice-water bath and let stand, undisturbed, until it has cooled to 100 degrees, 10 to 15 minutes. Attach bowl to stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on medium-low speed until mixture becomes thick, creamy, and the color of peanut butter. (This can take anywhere from 30 to 40 minutes, so set a timer and check on it periodically if using a stand mixer.) Transfer cream to a jar with a tight-fitting lid and store in refrigerator or a cool, dark place up to 1 year.

Steps:
- Lightly oil a 9- by 9-inch square pan, or a baking sheet.
- In a small heavy-duty saucepan (about 2 quarts) mix together the maple syrup, sugar, cream, and corn syrup.
- Fit a candy thermometer to the side of the pan and heat until the temperature reaches 236 degrees, tilting the pan to submerge the bulb, if necessary, to gauge the correct temperature.
- Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the mixture into the metal bowl of a standing electric mixer.
- Submerge the thermometer in the candy mixture until it has cooled to 110 degrees, which will take a while.
- (tip: you can put the bottom of the bowl in ice water to speed up the process; but dont stir the mixture to cool it down).
- When the temperature is 110 degrees, add the vanilla and beat the mixture until it just begins to thicken and loose its gloss.
- Overmixing will make it grainy, so keep an eye on it.
- Stir in the nuts and spread the mixture into the square pan or onto the baking sheet, forming it into a 9-inch square with your (clean) hands.
- Allow to cool completely, then remove from the pan and cut into squares.
- To remove it from a square pan, run a sharp knife around the inside of the pan to loosen it, then cut it in half.
- Use a metal spatula to pry the candy loose a bit (it will be flexible).
- Invert the pan a shake it to coax the maple cream candy out.
Tips:
- Use fresh maple syrup for the best flavor.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can use the cold water test to check for the right consistency. Drop a small amount of the candy into a bowl of cold water. If it forms a soft ball that holds its shape, the candy is ready.
- Be careful not to overcook the candy, or it will become hard and brittle.
- Store the candy in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
- Enjoy the candy within a week or two for the best flavor.
