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) HERSHEY’®S Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped

2 teaspoons shortening





Recipe

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.

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.

Editor’s Note: Shape and freeze the balls of maple candy for up to 2 months if desired. Thaw candy before dipping into melted chocolate mixture.
