A Maple Candy Recipe

Maple syrup is very popular nowadays because of its exquisite taste. In fact, the mass production of different maple-flavored candies is highly promoted nowadays. However, if you want to make maple candies, you better use real extracted maple syrup and not those commercially sold and are simply maple-flavored but not really maple.

The cooking time for maple candies generally lasts for 10 minutes or less. All you need to get started with this recipe is 1 tablespoon of butter and 2 cups of maple syrup. Before anything else, prepare your candy molds. Spray non-stick cooking spray onto it to avoid the candy from sticking later on. Then, pour the maple syrup into any saucepan and put it on medium heat. Just let it boil and add a bit of butter to the syrup. Stir it together. Next, get the temperature of the candy. Once it reaches 240 degrees, take it off the heat.

Let your mixture cool down for at least 3 minutes and just beat it with a wooden stick until it completely thickens and when the color starts to turn opaque. When it achieves this, stop stirring it. Spoon some maple syrup mixture into your candy molds and smoothen it. Allow it to stay in the molds for about 5 minutes and you’re done. Remember to use attractive molds or cookie cutters to make it look more presentable.
