Maple Snow Candy
I created this "recipe" as a way to try out the maple candy from Laura Ingalls Wilder's "Little House in the Big Woods" with my children. A fun project for a snowy day!
Prep Time 10 minutes
Servings 2 people
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
Instructions
-
In a small heavy bottomed saucepan, cook the maple syrup at medium-high heat until boiling. Reduce to medium-low, and cook (stirring frequently) until it reaches 235-250 degrees F. Remove from heat.
-
Pour the hot syrup over a plate of fresh, clean snow. Allow it to set briefly, and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Maple syrup snow candy does not last well, since the snow does begin to melt on contact with the high heat of the maple syrup, and the candy mixed with water begins to break down quickly.
For best results, enjoy this candy immediately.
