Something wonderful! One night my little one and I read about sugar on snow in Little House in the Big Woods: "Grandma...poured hot syrup on each plate of snow. It cooled into soft candy, and as fast as it cooled they ate it. They could eat all they ... More

Ingredients
- 1 cup real maple syrup
- 1/4 cup salted butter
- Fresh snow, vanilla ice cream, or shaved ice
- **Optional: Dill pickles and saltines** *u*!
Directions
- Heat the syrup and butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring to avoid a boil over. (Heating syrup is strictly a parent's job if doing this with Kids.)
- The mixture is ready 6 to 7 minutes after it boils (220 to 234 degrees on a candy thermometer). It should stiffen when dripped onto a plate.
- Remove from heat and cool for 2 minutes before pouring over the snow, ice cream, or ice. It cools so quickly that kids can taste it right away.
- Finish by nibbling some pickles or saltines — a sugarhouse tradition "for getting taste buds back to normal," because sugar on snow is so sweet. Enjoy! :)
