Soft Maple Creams
Soft Maple Creams are a maple nut chocolate candy recipe that will melt in your mouth and wow your taste buds. Made with brown sugar, cream, marshmallow, maple, chocolate and nuts, there is no better combination of sweet flavors!
Notes
Invertase is a yeast derivative used in fondant centers to make them creamier as fondant ripens. Usually only a few drops are necessary. It can be omitted from any recipe.
