MAPLE WALNUT TRUFFLES

These Maple Walnut Truffles are a See's Candy Copycat! Just like the original, but made at home!

Provided by Dorothy Kern

Categories     Dessert

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon maple extract
1 cup chopped toasted walnuts
8 ounces chocolate candy melts (such as Candiquik)

Steps:

  • Mix butter, maple syrup, and powdered sugar with a hand mixer. Add both extracts and beat until creamy. Stir in walnuts. Chill for 30 minutes.
  • Once chilled, scoop 1 tablespoon sized balls of dough and place on a wax paper lined cookie sheet. Chill again until just ready to dip (at least 10 minutes).
  • Melt your candy in a microwave safe bowl according to package directions. Dip each truffle in the bowl of chocolate.
  • Do not roll it around, use a spoon to spoon chocolate over the top. Lift onto a fork carefully and tap to remove excess chocolate. Place on a wax-paper lined cookie sheet. I find it best to use a toothpick to help the truffle slide off the fork without disturbing too much of the coating.
  • Note: these truffles soften quickly. If you find them getting to soft, re-chill them and only remove a few at a time to dip.
  • Chill dipped truffles for just a few minutes, until coating is semi-hard. Meanwhile transfer the remaining chocolate to a squeeze bottle (or a plastic bag with the tip cut off) and pipe swirls or swipes of chocolate over the top for decoration.

Provided by Kim Lange

Categories     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk (I used Eagle Brand)
½ cup butter (cubed)
7 cups powdered sugar (can use less if you want creamier, see in notes starting with 5 cups and added refrigeration instructions. )
2 cups chopped walnuts (or pecans, toasted if preferred)
2 teaspoons pure maple flavoring (I used King Arthur)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 1/2 cups milk chocolate chocolate chips (or semi-sweet)
2 teaspoons oil of choice (I used canola)

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, combined the butter and sweetened condensed milk stirring constantly over low heat until butter is melted.
  • Powdered sugar Instruction: Recipe calls for 7 cups of powdered sugar. If you want eveb creamier filling, use less powdered sugar, starting with using 5 cups and continue adding more as needed in next step.
  • In a large bowl add the powdered sugar and add the sweetened condensed/butter mixture and beat until smooth. Stir in the walnuts, maple flavoring and vanilla.
  • Scoop using a medium 1 1/2 heaping tablespoons, scoop and roll it into a smoother ball. Can roll them nicer once they are refrigerated in next step. Place on waxed paper lined baking sheets.
  • Refrigerate until firm in sealed container - about 1 hour if using 7 cups of powdered sugar. If you opted for the creamier filling, using less powdered sugar, starting with using 5 cups and continue adding more as needed. Let balls firm up 3 hours or overnight is always a good option as well, if you like doing your truffles in stages. When dipping your balls in the chocolate they need to be firm enough to dip.
  • In a microwave, melt the chocolate in 45 second increments and stir and repeat in microwave until melted, stirring well to keep tempering the chocolate nicely with each increment. Add oil and mix to thin the chocolate for nicer dipping.
  • Dip balls into chocolate and place on waxed paper. Let stand until set. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
