Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 honeycrisp apples, stems removed
1 ½ cups sugar
½ cup water
¼ cup light corn syrup
6 drops red food coloring
8 oz neon green candy melts
1 teaspoon canola oil
4 lollipop sticks

Steps:

  • Insert a lollipop stick into the stem end of each apple.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.
  • Add the sugar, water, and corn syrup to a medium saucepan fitted with a candy thermometer. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then cook until the temperature reaches 300°F (150°C), about 5 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the red food coloring.
  • Dip the apples in the syrup to coat entirely, then set on the prepared baking sheet. Let cool until the candy hardens, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the green candy melts to a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on low power in 20-second intervals, stirring between, until melted. Stir in the canola oil until smooth. Let cool slightly, then transfer to a squeeze bottle. Let cool for 5 minutes more, or until the candy sets quickly when squeezed out of the bottle.
  • Use the melted candy to draw eyes and a mouth on each apple, then outline the rest of the apple above the very bottom and fill in the space outside the eyes and mouth.
  • Let set for 10-15 minutes, until completely hardened.
  • Enjoy!

MAINE MAPLE SNOW CANDY



Maine Maple Snow Candy image

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.

SNOW CANDY



Snow Candy image

The Little House books! Didn't you always want to make snow candy as you read & re-read those books? Unfortunately, you're a parent now & a shopper, and there's no way you're spending $15+ on real maple syrup to make a snowy day treat. This recipe is a white sugar version, super yummy, and (fairly) easy. My kids love it, and we generally make it two times per year. A note of caution: Any sugar syrup can be dangerous. This is something I cook on a back burner, and I do the cooking myself (I leave the kids to pick out which baking pans they want to use for collecting snow). The candy itself cools very quickly, and it can be eaten almost immediately. That being said, an adult should help little little kids.

Time 13m

Yield 1 1/2 cups, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups white sugar
1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice (jarred, to reduce the change of crystallization)
1 teaspoon orange extract (optional, see notes below)

Steps:

  • Place all ingredients in a heavy bottomed pot, over medium-high heat.
  • Stir as the mixture is heating up, but DO NOT STIR once it starts to boil or simmer.
  • Once the mixture comes to a low boil, gently swirl the pot a few times, but do not stir or jostle the pot. Also, do not put a spoon or etc into the pot.
  • Lower the heat to low/medium. Simmer for 7 minutes, without stirring.
  • Turn off the heat.
  • At the five minute mark, have the kids go collect clean snow in large baking pans.
  • Drizzle the candy syrup over the snow (a tablespoon or two per serving). It will be cool enough to eat within seconds. With young children, be vigilant.
  • This makes enough for five kids to make two or three rounds of snow candy.
  • Clean-up will seem awful - but it's just sugar; Soak everything in warm water, and cleaning will be a breeze.
  • Flavoring note: I use natural orange flavoring extract; this seems to be my kids' favorite. We've also used no flavor (just the sugar with the lemon juice). Flavoring is a matter of preference; any extract will work - vanilla, peppermint, cherry, etc.
