Instructions for Maple Syrup Taffy
Place 1 cup of maple syrup into small heavy saucepan; clamp candy thermometer firmly on side
Bring to a boil; wearing heatproof gloves, stir constantly to avoid over flow, until 235F
Remove maple taffy from heat; sit until bubbles settle; pour over clean snow in thin strips, winding around popsicle strips almost immediately to avoid taffy freezing first (or just eat the frozen strip)
Recipe Notes
ATTENTION: Keep children away from hot taffy when pouring onto cold surface; it is safe temperature only after poured - then work fast!
