          1   cup butter, softened--no subs
      1 3/4   pints powdered sugar
          3   tablespoons Maple Extract, 1 small 1 oz bottle
          1   pint walnuts, chopped
          1   pint Chocolate Chips, Semi-Sweet Morsels, for melting
          1   cup butterscotch chips, for melting

  In a mixing bowl, cream the butter, sugar and maple flavoring until smooth. 
  Stir in walnuts.  Shape into 1-inch balls; place on waxed paper-lined baking
  sheets.  Freeze until firm (I left in for 1 hour---could do about 45 minutes). 
  In a microwave or heavy saucepan, melt the chips; dip balls and place on waxed
  paper-lined baking sheets.  Refrigerate until hardened.  STORE IN THE
  REFRIGERATOR.
