You guys are ready for more fudge right? Now that you’ve made Peanut Butter Candy Bar Fudge and used up all your leftover Halloween candy, we’re ready to move on to more holiday type fudge.
Maple is pretty much my most favorite thing EVER. I’ll take it any way I can get it and fudge is certainly my preferred method for satisfying my maple cravings.
The flavor in this fudge is intensified by the toasted walnuts. Yep. Toasted. It’s kinda an essential part of the recipe for my family (allergies to raw walnuts run rampant) and it does amazing things for the flavor
After my recent trip with Diamond of California, you could say I have walnuts on the brain 🙂
A couple of weeks ago Diamond of California invited me to tour their walnut orchards during harvesting. I was able to see the entire process from the tree shaking to the packaging of the nuts. I have to admit I was totally giddy with excitement. I’m such a nerd.
I was so impressed with the entire operation and learned SO much about walnuts – I’m totally an expert now 😉 I had the most amazing time with the fantastic group of bloggers that went on the trip so make sure to go check them out!

Hey there, I’m a huge fan of maple nut fudge look way awesome! I found your post from Pinterest! Thx for sharing this unique recipe Trish!
Angela Sefton says
I’ve just made this with toasted pecan nuts. My cousin asked me to make some for her 5 daughter-in-laws for Christmas gifts. I bought some candy jars and bows, and they look lovely. I tasted the left-over bits from the pan and it’s absolutely delicious. Thank you for your yummy easy-to-follow recipe, which I have pinned. Thanks again from Liverpool, England
lorraine says
I made this fudge hoping it would taste like the maple fudge that I had tasted awhile back that was so delicious. I must admit that toasting the nuts made a difference in the taste and I definitely wouldn’t skip that step. I did not taste enough maple flavoring though. If I make it again, I would up the amount of extract.

Absolutely Lorraine! Toasting the nuts is key 🙂 Go ahead and increase the extract to your liking! Thanks for stopping by!
Janet says
This fudge looks so good! Just wanted to check – do you use salted or unsalted butter? And it says White chocolate chips, chopped – did you mean white chocolate, chopped or do you chop your chocolate chips? Thank you!
Elayna says
Well I made this today. Accidentally put 3/4 evaporated milk instead of 2/3. Little soft. Good though! This was my first try so I guess that’s okay?
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Oops! Glad it still kinda turned out 🙂 Have a happy Thanksgiving!
Candace says
Hi Trish! I tried this recipe today and it was AMAZING! The house even smells good! I do have one question, is this suppose to be a softer fudge? Mine turned out softer then what I was expecting. Just wanted to make sure I didn’t do anything wrong. Although it wouldn’t matter any way since it was so GOOD!!!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
The softness of the fudge will depend a lot on how long you let it boil. The longer you let it boil the stiffer it will be. If yours was a little too soft, try boiling it for an extra 30-60 seconds next time. So glad you enjoyed the fudge!!
Maesie says
Hi Trish!
Just wondering if you have found a way to make maple fudge with real maple syrup. I’m from New England, so I always feel like using the real stuff is a must.
Thanks!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
I haven’t tried Maesie but I’m sure it would be delicious!
Melissa says
I love all the different flavors of fudge you have on your site. I can’t wait to make some for Christmas. I think I’ll give plates to all my neighbors!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Sounds like the perfect plan to me Melissa – thank you! (p.s. my sister’s name is Melissa too!)
Ala says
That tour does sound preeeetty darn awesome–I’d totally have walnuts on the mind, too! I’m all about some crunchy and some texture in my fudge, so I love this recipe you’re sharing!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Thanks Ala! It was so much fun!
Liz @ The Lemon Bowl says

marcie says
How fun to tour the orchard! This is a great use of those beautiful walnuts — that fudge flavor combination sounds delicious! Pinned. 🙂
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
It sure was Marcie! And yes, this fudge = YUM!
Mir says
Maple walnut is really one of my favorite flavors of all time! So this thrills me beyond belief. Love it! Keep the fudge kick going!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Thanks Mir!
Rhonda Albom says
OMG – I have to try this. I can’t believe it has so little maple in it – an not even real maple syrup. It looks so good.
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Yep. You could totally add a little maple syrup to it but it doesn’t really enhance the flavor, in my opinion. Give it a try Rhonda!
Renee @ Two in the Kitchen says
