Walnut Chocolate Balls

This is a candy that Elisabeth Bloch made for us last Christmas when she was our Christmas Elf.  We really enjoyed these not overly sweet candies.  Elisabeth has become a wonderful friend to us here in Denmark.

Walnut Chocolates
8 ounces walnuts - as fresh as possible
4 ounces real maple syrup
40 halves
8 ounces dark dipping chocolate

Grind the nuts up in a nut grinder until you have pile of coarse nuts.  Mix with the maple syrup in  a saucepan on very low heat.  Mix thoroughly until you have a cohesive mass.  Let cool completely.  Roll the walnut marzipan  into 40 balls.  Melt the chocolate and cover the balls completely with chocolate.  While the chocolate is still warm, place one whole walnut on each candy.  A great Christmas gift.
