Use Good Quality Ingredients

• Especially when it comes to butter and chocolate.  The better quality of butter and chocolate, the better tasting, right?
• Use real maple flavoring and vanilla extract, not imitation.  This will be a major flavor boost to your truffles with natural flavoring.  Even top them off with some sea salt for an added twist of sweet and salty.

What I Love About About These Maple Truffles

• Easy to make these no bake maple candy creams!
• These maple cream truffles do not require any special equipment.  No candy thermometer required, so no fuss.  They just require a little time for the different steps for setting up of the candy filling and coating.
• Even top them off with some sea salt for an added twist of sweet and salty.

Ways to Amp Up the Nutty Flavor!

• As far as the amping up the nut flavor  in this maple candy recipe, take these up a notch, by toasting the walnuts ahead of time.  It is a worthy pursuit, as it enhances their flavor and texture in your maple goodies. You may prefer pecans.  You can use fresh or toasted, just giving you some options. 🙂
• Toss walnuts in a little olive oil (1 teaspoon) and salt if desired. Toast walnuts @ 350 in the oven on a rimmed baking sheet for 7 to 10 minutes. Shake or stir the pan so the nuts brown evenly without scorching.  Let cool and chop as needed.
• Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top!

Ingredients You Need for Homemade Maple Cream Truffles

Homemade Maple Candy Truffles Recipe

• 1 14 ounce can Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk 
• butter, cubed
• powdered sugar, can use less if you want creamier, see in notes starting with 5 cups and added refrigeration instructions.
• chopped walnuts or pecans, toasted if preferred
• pure maple flavoring, maple extract or pure maple syrup could be substituted if in a pinch 
• vanilla extract

Milk Chocolate Coating

• milk chocolate chips or semi-sweet chips or chocolate melts
• oil of choice, like canola, coconut or vegetable oil

How to Make Homemade Maple Cream Candy Truffles 

1. In a small saucepan, combined the butter and sweetened condensed milk stirring constantly over low heat until butter is melted.
2. Powdered sugar Instruction: Recipe calls for 7 cups of powdered sugar. If you want an even creamier filling, use less powdered sugar, starting with using 5 cups and continue adding more as needed in next step.
3. In a large bowl add the powdered sugar and add the sweetened condensed/butter mixture and beat until smooth. Stir in the walnuts, maple flavoring and vanilla.
4. Scoop using a small or medium scoop (1 to 2 tablespoons), scoop and roll it into a smoother ball. Can roll them nicer once they are refrigerated in next step. Place on waxed paper lined baking sheets.
5. Refrigerate until firm in sealed container – about 1 hour if using 7 cups of powdered sugar. If you opted for the creamier filling, using less powdered sugar, starting with using 5 cups and continue adding more as needed. Let balls chill and firm up 3 hours or overnight is always a good option as well, if you like doing your truffles in stages. When dipping your balls in the chocolate they need to be firm enough to dip.
6. In a microwave, melt the chocolate in 45 second increments and stir and repeat in microwave until melted, stirring well to keep tempering the chocolate nicely with each increment. Add oil and mix to thin the chocolate for nicer dipping.
7. Dip balls into chocolate and place on waxed paper. Let stand until set. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
8. For a sweet and salty twist, add some sea salt on top, pecans, walnuts, drizzles of chocolate flavors you love or fall sprinkles!

Storing Truffles

• Once homemade maple cream truffles have been made, truffles have approximately a 2 to 4 week shelf life due to the fact that they are made with fresh heavy cream and should be contained in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to serve or gift for best results.
• Shape and freeze the balls of maple candy for up to 2 months if desired. Thaw candy before dipping into melted chocolate mixture.
