She Pours Maple Syrup Over Snow. Why? Pure GENIUS!

Next time you need a fun activity for you and your child to do on a snow day, you may want to try this! Using just maple syrup and tightly packed snow, you can make maple taffy lollipops. This is such a fun, sweet treat for grown-ups and kids to make together.

The best part of this fun snow day treat? It can be made in just a few easy steps:

  • Bring 1 cup of pure maple syrup to a boil.
  • Keep it on a low simmer for 15–30 minutes.
  • Remove from heat until there are no more bubbles.
  • Immediately (before it can harden in the pan), pour over tightly packed snow and drizzle thin strips.
  • Roll into a lollipop with a Popsicle stick and enjoy!

This tasty treat is so simple, even a child could make it — and yet it tastes so good. For those of you who live in warmer climates and don’t have snow, you can always make these treats by putting the “taffy” on a parchment-lined baking sheet and cooling until it hardens. You can eat it as is, but it’s also pretty amazing in vanilla ice cream.
