MAPLE-NUT FUDGE
I got this recipe ages ago and made it once at Christmas time. It smells wonderful and reminds me of the "maple" sugar leaf shapes My dad bought us when I was a child. You must use pure maple syrup, not maple flavored pancake syrup, to get the true authentic flavor.

Tips for Making Maple Nut Fudge:
- Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent scorching.
- Use a candy thermometer to reach the correct temperature. If the fudge is not cooked to the right temperature, it will be too soft or too hard.
- Stir the fudge constantly while it is cooking to prevent it from sticking to the pan and burning.
- Do not overcook the fudge. If it is cooked for too long, it will become grainy and lose its smooth texture.
- Add the nuts and flavoring after the fudge has been removed from the heat. This will prevent the nuts from burning and the flavoring from evaporating.
- Pour the fudge into a greased 8x8 inch pan and let it cool completely before cutting it into squares.
