1. In a thick-bottomed saucepan, bring butter and maple syrup to a boil. Boil until candy thermometer shows 295 °F, then remove from heat.
2. Lay a large sheet of parchment paper on a table or countertop, then pour little circles of syrup.
3. Quickly place a lollipop stick in the center of each circle, then leave to harden.

• Grease the bottom and sides of a loaf pan with butter, then line the pan with parchment paper, leaving a bit of an overhang on both the long sides.
• In a 4-quart saucepan, bring the maple syrup to a boil over medium heat; simmer for 5 minutes, making sure to keep a very close eye on things as the syrup will rise quite a lot as it boils.
• After 5 minutes, pour in the heavy cream; without stirring bring the mixture back to the boil (careful, it will rise again) and then let it simmer until it reaches 236°F on a candy thermometer, which should take about 20 minutes.
• As soon as the mixture reaches 236°F, remove the pan from the heat source. Add the butter to the pot but do not stir it in. Let the mixture cool for 5-8 minutes.
• Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for about 5 minutes, until the sugar mixture gets thicker, lighter, loses its sheen and starts to show signs of crystallization.
• Promptly transfer the fudge to the prepared pan; spread all the way to the edge and transfer to the fridge until completely set, about 2 to 3 hours.
• Lift the fudge from the pan and cut into squares with a sharp knife.
• Keep in a cool dry place in an airtight container for up to a few weeks.

1. In the bowl of a food processor, combine the vanilla wafers and pecans and process until fine crumbs form. Add the maple syrup, cocoa, bourbon, vanilla, salt and 1/3 cup confectioners’ sugar and process until completely combined and the mixture holds together when shaped into a ball.
2. Portion the dough into 1 tablespoon scoops and transfer them to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Once all the dough is portioned, roll the scoops into neat balls.
3. Melt the chocolate over a double boiler on the stove or in short bursts in the microwave. Using two forks, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, and rotate to cover completely in chocolate coating. Tap each of the covered balls over the edge of the bowl to release excess chocolate and transfer to the prepared sheet. Alternatively, roll the uncoated balls in the 1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar until coated.
4. Transfer the sheet to the fridge to set for at least 20 minutes. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.

Bottom Chocolate Layer:

1. Gently melt the cocoa butter over low heat.
2. Measure out four tablespoons of melted cocoa butter and stir in maple syrup until combined.
3. Add the rest of the bottom layer ingredients and whisk until everything is combined.
4. Pour into a small glass dish of some type Pyrex baking dish that is lined with parchment paper.
5. Set in the freezer to harden while you make the top layer.

Top White Chocolate Layer:

1. Again, gently melt the cocoa butter.
2. Measure out two tablespoons of melted cocoa butter and pour into a small bowl.
3. Gently melt the coconut butter in the same way.
4. Measure out three tablespoons of coconut butter and mix the two butters along with the remaining ingredients until smooth.
5. Pour the mix over the top of the hardened chocolate layer.
6. Top with crushed candy canes. To avoid the candy canes sinking to the bottom of the white chocolate layer, let it set a bit in the freezer first.
7. Once confection has solidified, break apart and enjoy!
