This recipe goes back about 40 years. My father loved anything with maple flavoring, so my mother tweaked a brownie recipe to suit his tastes. She would be so happy to know her recipe is a runner up after all these years. âBetsy King, Duluth, Minnesota Ingredients:
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk |
1/2 cup butter, cubed |
7-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar |
2 cups chopped walnuts |
2 teaspoons maple flavoring |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
4 cups (24 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips |
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped |
2 teaspoons shortening |
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan, combine milk and butter. Cook and stir over low heat until butter is melted. Place the confectioners' sugar in a large bowl; add milk mixture and beat until smooth. Stir in the walnuts, maple flavoring and vanilla. Roll into 3/4-in. balls; place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
2. In a microwave, melt the chips, bittersweet chocolate and shortening; stir until smooth. Dip balls into chocolate; allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper; let stand until set. Store in an airtight container. Yield: about 13 dozen.
