Maple Snow Candy

Here's a great homemade treat that the kids are sure to love!

Have the kids collect clean snow in aluminum pie plates. Yellow snow should be avoided. Leave the plates outside to chill.

Next, bring one cup of maple syrup to a boil, and then lower the heat to simmer for ten minutes (and be sure to keep the kids away from the boiling syrup). Stir all the while with a wooden spoon.

Next, pour the syrup into a measuring cup. Slowly drizzle a thin layer of syrup over the snow.

The snow will cause the syrup to thicken and cool almost instantly.

Now, have the kids take popsicle sticks and dip them in the snow-syrup mix for a chewy maple candy treat! Add more syrup or snow as needed to perfect the mixture.

And there you go! A tasty holiday treat that the kids are gonna love!
