These are simple to make and the maple flavor was subtle and just right.

It's a very simple recipe to make but I haven't gotten the correst yield either time I've made it.

I skipped putting them in the fridge since I learned the first time it's easier to coat them in walnuts if they're warm. It's also easier to coat in walnuts if you chop the walnuts and put them in a ziploc bag, just shake to coat and it's more evenly coated that way

Delicious is an understatement to describe these mouthwatering truffles. My picky little son loved them too!

Easy! My husband and children fought over the last 3 candies in the dish!!! Used reduced fat cream cheese to cut down on fats and calories.
