Sugar on Snow
"Sugar on Snow" parties have been a traditional spring-time favorite in Vermont for over 200 years. Sugar on Snow is made by pouring heated pure Vermont maple syrup onto packed snow or crushed ice to form a taffy-like candy and is traditionally served with raised doughnuts, sour dill pickles, and coffee. The pickles and coffee serve to counter the intense sweetness of the candy.
To make your own Sugar on Snow: Heat the syrup without stirring to 233 degrees. Pour or drizzle (again without stirring) the syrup immediately over the packed snow or crushed ice to form a thin coating. The taffy is soft, so the easiest way to eat it is to wind it up with a fork and enjoy!
