What is Maple Snow Candy? It is pure maple syrup over lightly packed, clean snow. Wait till it hardens, which is almost immediately, and then you pick it up with a spoon or eat it like a lollypop. When you get new maple syrup, it is just yummy and the kids love to do this. It sure is a treat. If you don't have snow, vanilla ice cream will work fine.

Time 30m

Yield 8 ounces

Number Of Ingredients 3

8 ounces pure maple syrup
1 cup snow (for testing)
1 (1 quart) saucepan filled with packed clean snow

Steps:

  • Pour the maple syrup into a deep pot and bring to a boil--but don't let it boil over.
  • Boil for 4 minutes.
  • Make a snowball out of the one cup of clean snow and put it on a plate or small bowl.
  • Test the syrup by pouring a small amount onto the snowball; if it clings to the snow and stops running, it is ready.
  • Slowly pour the syrup in short, thin lines onto the packed snow in the pan.
  • As it hardens, pick it up and eat it with a spoon or twist it onto popsicle sticks.
