Ingredients:  
1/4 cup butter softened
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon maple extract
1 cup chopped toasted walnuts
8 ounces chocolate candy melts (such as Candiquik)
Directions:
Directions:
Mix butter, maple syrup and powdered sugar with hand mixer. Add both extracts and beat until creamy. Stir in walnuts. Chill for 30 minutes.

Once chilled, scoop 1 tablespoon sized balls of dough and place on a wax paper lined cookie sheet. Chill again until just ready to dip (at least 10 minutes).
Melt your candy in a microwave safe bowl according to package directions. Dip each truffle in the bowl of chocolate. Do not roll it around, use a spoon to spoon chocolate over the top. Lift onto a fork carefully and tap to remove excess chocolate. Place on wax-paper lined cookie sheet. I find it best to use a toothpick to help the truffle slide off the fork without disturbing too much of the coating.

Note: these truffles soften quickly. If you find them getting too soft, re-chill them and only remove a few at a time to dip.

Chill dipped truffle for just a few minutes, until coating is semi-hard. Meanwhile transfer remaining chocolate to a squeeze bottle (or a plastic bag with the tip cut off) and pipe swirls or swipes of chocolate over the top for decoration.

To keep my chocolate warm, I like to heat my electric griddle to 200F and cover it with two kitchen towels. Then I place the bowl of melted chocolate on top to keep it warm and liquid while I dip.
