Chef Notes:

Above all, I highly recommend toasting the walnuts first. Firstly, preheat the oven to 375. Lay walnuts onto a baking tray. Place the tray into the oven and bake for approximately 5 minutes. Consequently, keep a close eye on them or they may burn. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.

Maple Walnut Truffles

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cup toasted walnuts
  • 1/2 cup maple sugar
  • 6 tsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp maple extract
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 4 oz homemade chocolate chips
  • 2 tsp coconut oil
  • 5 coarsely chopped walnuts

Directions:

First, add 1/4 cup of walnuts to a small processor and coarsely chop them. Second, remove the chopped walnuts. Third, process the remaining walnuts in a small food processor until a walnut spread is made. Fourth, add the coarsely chopped walnuts, maple sugar, maple syrup, maple extract, pure vanilla extract, and salt into the processor. Fifthly, process until the mass comes together. Remove from the processor and add to a small bowl. Scoop out balls of walnut spread using a small scoop onto a 1/4-rimmed cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Next, place the candy balls into the freezer for 1 hour. Place the chocolate and coconut oil into a small tall glass and put it into the microwave. Microwave at 30-second intervals. Remove the chocolate and stir after each interval until melted.

Finally, remove the maple walnut balls from the freezer. Using a chocolate tool or a fork pick up a ball and dip it into the chocolate. Lift it out with the fork. Tap the fork on the side of the glass to remove any excess chocolate. Place the balls onto the parchment paper lined rimmed cookie sheet. Lastly, place a piece of walnut on the top of each truffle. Once all the balls are chocolate dipped place them back into the freezer for 30 minutes. Remove and place into chocolate paper cups. Serve or store in the freezer. Makes approximately 20 Truffles.Maple Walnut Truffles 5 are shown. Behind is some flowers and a cupcake holder with shadow glass.
