Maple Taffy — Sugar on Snow

This is an absolute favorite treat of mine that I’ve enjoyed yearly since I was a kid. The concept is pretty foreign to much of the world, but I guarantee that if you like snow and maple syrup this snack is delicious. And the only calories consumed are the ones in the syrup!

Ingredients
4 cups clean, unadulterated snow (yes, the stuff that falls from the sky, but you can substitute ice shavings à la sno cones if you must)
2 cups maple syrup — choose your favorite grade

Cooking Instructions
Heat maple syrup in a pan on the stove, stirring frequently until it reaches 238° F, so that it becomes a molasses-type consistency. Pour maple syrup directly onto snow.

Serve with dill pickle slices, plain or old fashioned donut holes, and hot coffee to your liking.

Feeds 1, 2, or 4 depending on your sweet tooth.

With a movie like Groundhog Day you’re guaranteed snow every day for the rest of your life!

I recommend the biggest mug you have filled with Starbucks Extra Bold Italian Roast coffee (but don’t tell Popcorn I said so).
