Chocolate coated maple sugar?

[Bruce L]

Has anyone ever tried this? We have a trade show this weekend,thought it might be a good idea but could not get the chocolate " pourable"

I made pure maple fudge last year and coated it in chocolate. I used milk chocolate chips and melted them down on low heat. The semi sweet chocolate chips don't seem to work as well. I poured a little maple syrup in with the chocolate when it was melted for a little flavour. Maybe that helped a bit but it was pretty workable when it was hot right off the stove.
Are you making your own chocolate from scratch or using chips?

Yes I was trying the semi sweet chocolate chips,wanted to get them like hot syrup so I could put it over the candies,failed so my wife tried putting the chocolate on with a spatula,too heavy,and sickenly sweet and messy

Try the milk chocolate chips. Way easier.
