Great for people who live up north with lots of snow. I love to make it with my little brothers! Do not let the syrup burn.
I'm native Vermonter. This is called sugar on snow and always served with crisp dill pickles and homemade donuts. It's a Vermont sugar season tradition.

My husband and I and our 4 daughters live in Northern Ontario Canada and each winter our friends bring us maple syrup from Quebec. My husband made wooden molds for us to pack the snow in and we make these with the kids....What a hit....Great way to make the winter fun! Enjoy everyone
Haven't made it in 60 years, but back in the '50s we would press our hands into the snow and use the handprint as the mould. Our grandmother would bring the pan and hot syrup out and pour it in the mould. That was the Northern Illinois tradition. Will do it again when we get some fresh snow.
We were served this at a sugarshack in Quebec on a school trip. I can't wait to try it again when it starts snowing.
In NY state, on the Canadian border, we often made this tasty treat with "fake" maple syrup. We had heavy snow fall nearly every winter, so it was a familiar treat for my family. Brings back some great memories!
I love doing this! Try rolling crushed salted peanuts in there and it takes it to a whole new level!
You've reminded me of a favorite childhood treat! Here, in NH, we call them Leather Aprons!

I had a lot of fun making this with the grandkids on our first "snow day"! I didn't have pure maple syrup, I have some maple flavored agave and it came out fine! I think I cooked the syrup just a little too long because it came out more like hard candy. I drizzled it on thew snow and they just picked up the pieces. Great success!
It was really good! Make sure you don’t let it sit in the snow to long! Love it!
This is to all the people who said this recipe did not work: You are probably not using the right kind of maple syrup. You need to get the "real" kind. The artificial version like "Aunt jemima's maple syrup", and lean more towards pure syrups and canned syrups. You also might be not be heating it up enough...Anyway i hope this helps, i'v never met someone who couldn't nail this recipie!
Doesn't work. Melted into the snow immediately even when hard packed and zero degrees
