Instructions
 

  • Fill your dishes or pans with snow. Put them back outside to stay frozen.

  • Pour the maple syrup and butter in a small saucepan. Set the burner to simmer (just one notch above low), stirring often.

  • Continue stirring often, especially after the maple syrup and butter start to boil. If you have a candy thermometer, it should heat to between 220 and 240 degrees. If you don't, allow it to boil for 5 to 10 minutes, until it becomes stringy and stiffens when dripped onto a plate.
