We poured out our hot taffy on a clean snowy patch in our backyard. After a few seconds, we rolled the taffy onto a popsicle stick.
The first time I ever had this was on a school trip to Quebec when I was a teenager. We visited a traditional maple sugar shack. Even though it wasn’t winter weather, they produced a tray of snow-like ice and I poured maple taffy for us all to try.
I made this batch for my kids and it got a big thumbs up!
Surely this snow won’t last too much longer, so enjoy it while it lasts.
With Maple Syrup Taffy, life really is a party!
