Maple Taffy on Snow Recipe

Canadian · Dessert · 15 min total

A classic Canadian winter treat where hot maple syrup is poured onto clean snow, then rolled onto a stick to make chewy taffy.

Ingredients

• 2 cups pure maple syrup (preferably dark amber)
• Clean fresh snow (or shaved ice)
• Butter for greasing (optional)
• 8 wooden sticks or popsicle sticks

Instructions

1. Pack clean snow into a large shallow pan or tray, or find a clean patch of fresh snow outdoors.
2. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, bring maple syrup to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook without stirring until a candy thermometer reads 235°F (soft-ball stage), about 10 minutes.
3. Remove from heat and let bubbles subside for 30 seconds.
4. Slowly drizzle the hot syrup in thin lines onto the snow in long strips, about 6-8 inches long. Work quickly as the syrup will harden.
5. Let the syrup cool on the snow for about 10-15 seconds until it becomes pliable but not brittle.
6. Place a wooden stick at one end of a syrup strip and roll the taffy around the stick. Repeat with remaining syrup.
7. Enjoy immediately while still chewy. If the taffy becomes too hard, let it warm slightly in your hands.

Tips

• If no snow is available, use finely shaved ice or crushed ice packed into a tray.
• For best results, use a candy thermometer to ensure the syrup reaches the correct temperature.
• The taffy can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, but is best eaten fresh.
