Ingredients
Directions
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sweetened condensed milk until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating until well incorporated. Stir in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. The mixture should be thick and spreadable, adding more powdered sugar if needed.
- Fold in the chopped nuts until evenly distributed.
- Optional Chocolate Coating:
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup vegetable shortening
- Melt chocolate chips and vegetable shortening in a double boiler or heatproof bowl set over simmering water, stirring constantly, until smooth.
- Drop tablespoons of the maple nut mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Drizzle or dip the maple nut candies in the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until chocolate is set.
- Tips:
- For a richer maple flavor, use dark brown sugar in place of some of the powdered sugar.
- If the mixture is too sticky, add more powdered sugar, one tablespoon at a a time.
- Get creative with the nuts! Almonds, peanuts, or a mixture of nuts can be used instead of pecans or walnuts.
- The maple nut candies can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
