RICK'S FAVORITE MAPLE WALNUT
CREAM CHOCOLATES
 
1 can sweetened condensed milk
3 lb. confectioners sugar
3 tbsp. maple flavoring
1 c. chopped walnuts

CHOCOLATE DIP:

4 sq. unsweetened chocolate
1/2 cake paraffin wax (2 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches)
12 oz. chocolate chips

Stir maple flavoring into condensed milk and add slowly to confectioners sugar in a large bowl. Mixture will be very thick. Mix in chopped nuts. With your hands, roll small amounts into ball and dip in chocolate mixture.

For chocolate dip, melt unsweetened chocolate and paraffin in the top of a double boiler over water (medium-high heat). Lower heat temperature and add chocolate chips, stir to melted. Keep temperature low enough to maintain a melt, but to keep the chocolate thickened. Dip balls of center mixture, one at a time, and place on waxed paper to cool.

These keep well for a long time and may be made weeks before needed.
