Delectable Maple Nut Chocolates Recipe

Ingredients

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 Spice Islands® pure vanilla extract
4 cups (24 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
2 teaspoons shortening

Preparation

Step 1

•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.
