"This recipe goes back about 40 years. My father loved anything with maple flavoring, so my mother tweaked a brownie recipe to suit his tastes. She would be so happy to know her recipe is a runner up after all these years." –Betsy King, Duluth, Minnesota

This is one of the best candy recipes I have ever made. It is so yummy. I will have to share this recipe with my friends and family.

So glad I cut this recipe in half. Definitely have to let the maple filling cool in order to get the balls to form. I had to increase the maple flavoring by another teaspoon and I still don't think it was strong enough. I was hoping they would be more firm/dense. They stayed pretty soft. These were easy enough to do, but nothing over the top.

We must have done something wrong. Ours was way too sticky,and got soft again after refrigeration. The chocolate was not a consistency to dip--way to thick. The flavor is great.

I'm glad it turned out for you ladies. The recipe printed is very different than the one I submitted. My recipe was for Maple Nut Fudge, there was no chocolate involved. :)

Very tasty. Everyone loved them. I used a small melon baller to scoop up the balls to be rolled and kept dipping it in ice water. The chocolate dipping was rather tricky. We ended up with chocolate up to our elbows. Which was fun as a group activity, but I would like to perfect the technique on subsequent tries. We also attached the finished candies on to a cone shaped styrofoam as shown in the magazine. Got rave reviews for that. The kids got a kick out of the powder sugar snow we sprinkled over our finished tree. All in all a worthy project.

I had trouble rolling the maple into balls too and found that it must cool first, either in the fridge or on the counter. I also find that it's really messy to roll them in the chocolate to coat. I might add lollipop sticks before I refrigerate them next time. It's a very rich recipe, so don't make them too big. Very yummy though.

Positively absolutely excellent! I had to chill before I could roll balls, I used a really small cookie scoop, easier! They recieved rave reviews from everyone and they will be made many, many more times by me. I used one of my home-brew vanillas, I chose mexican as I thought it would compliment the flavors best! I drool just writing this thinking about how good they are, Betsey King I thank you for a most excellent recipe!
