I created these chocolate-dipped delights a few years ago, and already they've become a seasonal favorite with all my friends and family members. The creamy confection also won a blue ribbon at our state fair.

If you love maple sugar candy as much as I do, these little balls of sappy-sweet heaven will be right up your alley. I followed the recipe as exactly as directed, except I toasted the pecans firt (which I highly recommend to accentuate their flavor). Next time I make these, however, I think I may substitute dark chocolate baking chips for the milk chocolate chips the recipe called for; I found the milk chocolate a little too sweet, and I think the slight tannin bitterness of dark will both offset and compliment the sweet maple filling perfectly. Also, if you prepare this recipe, make sure the pecans you use are finely chopped; I used a cup of coarsely chopped pecans, which made rolling the filling into balls slightly more difficult. I also think using finely chopped pecans would result in a more even and balanced distribution of nuts throughout the maple filling. Overall, though, this is an outstanding recipe and I will definitely make these again!
