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
I love this old quebecois classic!
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.
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!
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.
You've reminded me of a favorite childhood treat! Here in NH we call them Leather Aprons!
I love doing this! Try rolling crushed salted peanuts in there and it takes it to a whole new level!
Well I tried. It tastes very good but it did not roll up into a lollipop. I ended up getting a spoon
