Prep Time: 25 minutes, plus chilling time
Ingredients (for 120 candies)
- 1 can (300 ml) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups (375) chopped nuts
- 2 tbsp (25 ml) maple syrup
- 1 pkg (91 kg) icing sugar
- 1 1/2 lbs (750 g) semi- sweet chocolate, chopped
Instructions
1. Mix together sweetened condensed milk, butter, maple syrup and nuts. Gradually beat in sugar. Chill in refrigerator 3-4 hours (or for up to 2 days).
2. Roll into 1″ (2.5 cm) balls. Keep refrigerated until ready to dip.
3. Melt chocolate in top of double boiler. Dip candy balls in warm chocolate. Place on parchment paper-lined baking sheets until set. Store covered at room temperature or in refrigerator.
Tips: resting on tines of a fork, dip each ball into melted chocolate, drawing fork lightly across rim of bowl to remove excess chocolate.
