Snow Candy Recipe - Food.com image

The Little House books! Didn't you always want to make snow candy as you read & re-read those books? Unfortunately, you're a parent now & a shopper, and there's no way you're spending $15+ on real maple syrup to make a snowy day treat. This recipe is a white sugar version, super yummy, and (fairly) easy. My kids love it, and we generally make it two times per year. A note of caution: Any sugar syrup can be dangerous. This is something I cook on a back burner, and I do the cooking myself (I leave the kids to pick out which baking pans they want to use for collecting snow). The candy itself cools very quickly, and it can be eaten almost immediately. That being said, an adult should help little little kids. 

Total Time 13 minutes

Prep Time 3 minutes

Cook Time 10 minutes

Yield 1 1/2 cups, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups white sugar
1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice (jarred, to reduce the change of crystallization)
1 teaspoon orange extract (optional, see notes below)

Steps:

  • Place all ingredients in a heavy bottomed pot, over medium-high heat.
  • Stir as the mixture is heating up, but DO NOT STIR once it starts to boil or simmer.
  • Once the mixture comes to a low boil, gently swirl the pot a few times, but do not stir or jostle the pot. Also, do not put a spoon or etc into the pot.
  • Lower the heat to low/medium. Simmer for 7 minutes, without stirring.
  • Turn off the heat.
  • At the five minute mark, have the kids go collect clean snow in large baking pans.
  • Drizzle the candy syrup over the snow (a tablespoon or two per serving). It will be cool enough to eat within seconds. With young children, be vigilant.
  • This makes enough for five kids to make two or three rounds of snow candy.
  • Clean-up will seem awful - but it's just sugar; Soak everything in warm water, and cleaning will be a breeze.
  • Flavoring note: I use natural orange flavoring extract; this seems to be my kids' favorite. We've also used no flavor (just the sugar with the lemon juice). Flavoring is a matter of preference; any extract will work - vanilla, peppermint, cherry, etc.

MAPLE SYRUP SNOW CANDY RECIPE | MYRECIPES



Maple Syrup Snow Candy Recipe | MyRecipes image

Channel your inner Laura Ingalls Wilder with this snow-day treat. While most candy-making is a pain in the ass, maple syrup snow candy couldn’t be easier. Safety note: Unless there are many inches of freshly fallen snow in your yard, find your ice somewhere else. Making faux snow in the blender will work just as well—simply crush ice until it’s finely chopped. You can also make snow granita-style, by filling a cake pan with an inch or two of water and placing it in the freezer, crushing the ice with a fork every half hour until the mixture is slushy, but mostly solid.Boil maple syrup with ginger until it bubbles like a cauldron. Pour the syrup mixture over a tray packed with fresh snow and watch it begins to firm up. Working quickly, roll the strands of solidified syrup around Popsicle sticks, then sprinkle each candy with a bit of flakey sea salt to offset the sugar.Maple Syrup Snow Candy

Provided by Extra Crispy Staff

Total Time 25 minutes

Prep Time 10 minutes

Yield 6 candy pops

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 cups snow or finely grated ice
1 cup pure maple syrup
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
½ teaspoon flaky sea salt (such as Maldon)
6 craft sticks

Steps:

  • Pack snow or grated ice on a rimmed baking sheet. Press down to create an even layer, and place in freezer.
  • Combine maple syrup and ginger in a small saucepan over high. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring often, until a candy thermometer registers 240°F (soft ball stage), about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat.

Working quickly, use a craft stick to press gently on 1 end of each strip; roll slightly hardened maple candy mixture onto the stick, gently forming into a candy pop at the end of each stick.
  • Place finished candy pops on a sheet of parchment paper while you make the rest, and enjoy candy immediately.

I MADE OLD FASHIONED SNOW CANDY! : OLD_RECIPES
I made my snow candy by bringing maple syrup to a boil then heated it to between 235F-240F. I then immediately poured it onto clean snow which had been firmly packed down in a bowl. The first time I tried this I didn’t heat the syrup up to 235F-240F, I just boiled it and I didn’t pack the snow down firmly. What I got instead was like a maple flavored slushy, not the taffy candy I was after ...
