Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces white chocolate chips or finely chopped white chocolate
- 14 ounces (1 can) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon maple extract (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 cup toasted chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment, leaving an overhang for easy removal. Preheat oven to 350°F and toast walnuts for 6–8 minutes until fragrant; cool and chop.
- In a medium heavy-bottom saucepan over low heat, combine white chocolate, sweetened condensed milk, maple syrup, and butter. Stir constantly until fully melted and smooth (about 5–7 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla, maple extract (if using), salt, and 3/4 cup walnuts until evenly combined.
- Pour into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and scatter remaining walnuts on top. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours until firm.
- Use a warm knife to slice into squares for serving.
Notes
Use high-quality pure maple syrup for best flavor. If chocolate seizes, a tablespoon of warm cream or butter can help smooth it out.
