1/2 c. sweetened condensed milk
3 c. powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. maple flavoring
1/2 lb. (about 28) caramels
1 tbsp. butter
1 tbsp. water
1 1/2 c. chopped walnuts

Combine condensed milk, sugar, and flavoring. Beat hard until smooth, then knead with hands for a few minutes. Divide mixture into 4 parts; shape each into a 5 inch long roll. Combine the caramels, butter and water in top of double boiler and heat, over boiling water, until melted and smooth. Spread chopped walnuts on piece of wax paper. Working with one candy roll at a time, coat one side of roll with caramel and drop onto walnuts. Coat remainder of roll, completely covering it with walnuts. Repeat with remaining 3 candy rolls. Wrap each in plastic film and refrigerate until firm. Makes 40 candies.
