Steps:
- Mix butter, maple syrup, and powdered sugar with a 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 a 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 to soft, re-chill them and only remove a few at a time to dip.
- Chill dipped truffles for just a few minutes, until coating is semi-hard. Meanwhile transfer the 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.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of your chocolate will greatly impact the taste of your truffles. Choose a chocolate with a high cocoa content (70% or higher) and a smooth, rich flavor.
- Temper your chocolate: Tempering your chocolate will help it set properly and give it a shiny, smooth finish. To temper chocolate, melt it slowly over a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring constantly. Once the chocolate is melted, cool it slightly by stirring in a small amount of unmelted chocolate. Continue stirring until the chocolate reaches a temperature of 88-90 degrees Fahrenheit (31-32 degrees Celsius).
- Use a variety of nuts: You can use any type of nuts you like in your truffles, but some popular choices include almonds, pecans, walnuts, and hazelnuts. Toasting the nuts before using them will enhance their flavor and make them more crunchy.
- Flavor your truffles: You can flavor your truffles with a variety of ingredients, such as vanilla extract, coffee liqueur, or orange zest. Be creative and experiment with different flavors to find your favorites.
- Roll the truffles in cocoa powder, chopped nuts, or sprinkles: This will give your truffles a beautiful finish and add extra flavor and texture.
Conclusion:
Maple nut truffles are a delicious and elegant treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With a little planning and effort, you can make maple nut truffles that will impress your friends and family.
