Inside: Stuck inside on a snowy day? Try this easy to make maple syrup snow candy. The kids will love it! Yummy candy just like Laura Ingalls made.

 Indiana has received a lot of snow these last couple weeks and we have had such a great time playing in it. Unfortunately, the weather has been horrible lately. It was -16 recently, way too cold to play outside. So I decided we could make Maple Syrup Snow Candy like Laura did in Little House on the Prairie.  It’s very easy and kids think its great fun. All you need is Maple Syrup and snow.  I just used the Kroger brand that I had.

IMG_2102.JPGPut the Maple Syrup in a small pot and heat it over low heat to 250 degrees. This will take about 10-15 minutes and you will need to stir it.

 When it gets to about 200 it will get really bubbly, that’s okay, just keep on stirring. Once it is heated to 250 degrees you will want to let it sit for about 2- 3 minutes. While it is cooling gather up some fresh snow in a bowl or plate. You can now use a spoon to make shapes with the maple syrup, or just pour it out little drops for a small round candy.

 My son loves to make all different shapes with this. After a minute the candy should have harden. You can remove it from the snow and eat. We keep our extras in the fridge. This maple syrup snow candy is fun to make and eat! Looking for other recipes your kids will love? Check out these cake batter krispie treats.

Maple Syrup Snow Candy

  • 1/2 Cup Maple Syrup

Put 1/2 cup of maple syrup in a small pot. Heat the maple syrup to 250 degrees, stirring constantly so it doesn’t burn or boil over. Let it cool for around 2-3 minutes. While it is cooling, pile clean snow in a plate or bowl. Then use a spoon to drizzle designs or letters over the snow. The snow will harden it very quickly. Remove the candy from the snow and store in the fridge.

    How fun! Way to take advantage of the cold and snowy weather! I always loved with Laura did that in the books…and plan to do the same when my son is old enough to enjoy it.

    I have great memories of doing this as a kid. I think we stopped when maple syrup took a price hike. I currently live in a rather dirty area, so I’m a little cautious of the cleanliness of the snow. I told my kids if we go back to my hometown in the winter I would do it for them, and now they want to travel trans-Atlantic in the winter.

      Maple Syrup is so expensive anymore. I have heard you can use regular syrup, but haven’t tried it. Thanks for stopping by!

    Here in Quebec we call it toffee. made exactly like you describe but we use popsicle sticks to roll the toffee around, it as soon as the hot syrup hits the snow. We usually do this at the sugar shack when the maple sap starts to run and then boiled to make the maple syrup. For my family, we do a ‘sugar shack’ meal at home, usually around Easter so we make a provisionn of clean snow in large ziplock bags and freeze them till we’re ready to use. Our ‘sugar shack’ meal consists of omelettes or scrambled eggs, breakfast sausages, ham slices reheated in syrup, crispy bacon slices, hash brown potatoes, thick slices of sour dough bread (toasted) & whatever condiments you like, we like small dill pickles, marinated beets and red tomatoe chow-chow (homemade ketchup/relish). For a sweet tooth, aside from the toffee, we have bread pudding or upside down pineapple cake(at our house) at the sugar shack they will serve a sugar pie made with maple syrup….not for diabetics! You are welcome to visit and taste our spring tradition meal

      Popsicle sticks is a great idea! Makes it so much less sticky. I can’t wait to try that next time. Your sugar shack meal sounds so delicious. Thank you for sharing!
