Wally Bites are the kind of sweet snack that fit right in with fall baking and holiday treat-making. They’re simple enough to whip up on a quiet afternoon but look nice enough to add to a holiday dessert tray or package up as a homemade gift. If you’re looking for something a little different from the usual cookies and fudge, these chocolate-covered nuts are the perfect thing.

The walnuts get a quick cook in maple syrup, which gives them a lightly sweet coating and helps bring out their natural flavor. A little salt balances the sweetness, and once the walnuts cool, they’re ready for their chocolate coating. It’s a simple process that gives each bite plenty of flavor without requiring much time at the stove.

Once the walnuts are coated in melted semi-sweet chocolate, a dusting of cocoa powder gives them their finished look. They have the perfect combination of crunchy nuts and smooth chocolate!

Let them cool completely before storing them in an airtight container, and they’ll be ready whenever you need a little something sweet. Serve them alongside other homemade candies, set them out for guests, or tuck them into small bags or tins for a simple edible gift.
