Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter softened
  • 2 Tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon maple extract
  • 2¼ cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped toasted pecans
  • 16 ounces (One 16 ounce package) chocolate candy coating
  • 20-22 pecan halves

Instructions

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and set aside. Meanwhile, cream together the butter, maple syrup, and extracts together in a medium bowl with a handheld electric mixer, beating until creamy and smooth, about 1 minute. Gradually add in the confectioners' sugar, beating on low speed and mixing well after each addition. Fold in the chopped pecans.
  • Using a Tablespoon-size cookie dough scoop, portion out balls of truffle and place them 1" apart on the baking sheet. Freeze until firm, about 20-30 minutes.
  • Melt the candy coating according to package directions, or until smooth and melted. Using a fork, dunk a truffle one at a time into the candy coating, coating it completely. Allow excess chocolate to drip off, then return to the baking sheet and immediately press a pecan half on top. Allow chocolate candy coating to set completely before serving.
