Tip:
Your pot should be 6-7 times as deep as the amount of maple syrup you pour in, so the syrup doesn't boil over.

Problem:
"How can I make my maple candy not be grainy?"

Solution:
Don't stop stirring (even for a few seconds) until the maple hardens.

—Page 8 of my guide

Quiz:
What's the best way to cool your maple before stirring?

a) In a bowl

b) In a bowl with a fan pointing at it

c) On a slate

Answer: b)
In a bowl with a fan pointing at it. The syrup will cool quickly, and your candy won't turn out grainy.

—"Do's and Don'ts" Tip #25 in my guide

Time-Saver:
Once you're done cooking the maple to the right temperature, you can pour the maple into 2-3 separate bowls. Not only does it cool more quickly, but it's much easier to stir if two people each take one bowl to stir the maple to completion.

—"Do's and Don'ts" Tip #15 in my guide

Frustration-Saver:
I've found that electric mixers often don't make great maple candy. That's because you need to scrape the bowl down so that the maple retains an even heat and doesn't crystallize on the side of the bowl. (Plus, humans make better maple candy than machines.)

5 Reasons You And Yours Will Love
Homemade Maple Sugar Candy:

It's Delicious As Only a Pure,
Natural Food Can Be

If you've experienced maple candy in the past, you know what I mean. But if you haven't...you're in for a treat. A little bit of pure maple sugar candy packs a very big flavor punch!

"I got your recipe right before Thanksgiving. What a surprise for my family! We so missed having maple sugar candy, and could not find it here in Florida. Your recipe came out perfectly, and I got some inexpensive little maple leaf candy molds to make it look just like everone remembered. They loved it, and said it was so creamy. I think it tastes better than what we got up north, but then again, I AM the cook!

"Thanks again for the terrific recipe with all of the helpful hints."

Maple Leaves Are Beautiful Long Before Maple Candy is Delicious

With such an intense flavor rush, a little bit goes a long way. After all, maple trees get all the nutrition they need for hundreds of years as a result of their sap. You're getting a concentrated shot of that. You can satisfy your sweet tooth with a surprisingly small bite of maple candy.

Maple Candy is
Fun to Make

A little bit of magic happens when you make maple candy. One step in making maple candy is to stir it after it cools off. When you are stirring the maple, it suddenly just seizes up and turns to solid right before your eyes.

If you do it right, in the space of literally 30 seconds, you go from stirring dark syrup to having solid, golden nuggets of maple candy. It's tough to explain unless you've seen it for yourself.

You already own all the equipment you need and you don't need to do any prep before cooking. Knowing how to make perfect maple candy is a snap...IF you know what you're doing!

"When I got your recipe I went and bought pure maple syrup and did step by step your recipe and it came out perfect. My date and I both really enjoyed it; she said it was better and more creamy than store-bought. I got almost 10oz of candy from 12oz of syrup, so it cost like $7.00 to make.

"Thank you for making a recipe that works."

—Peter B., Michigan

Makes a Tasty, Thoughtful Gift

No more rushing to the market to look for a tasty and novel gift, only to find yourself stuck having to decide between the crushed cookies or the muffins that look like grenades.

Everyone knows the taste of maple syrup, but very few people have ever tasted it in its purest form. It's a unique twist on something very familiar.

Maple candy is a great gift also because it's from you. If you're a big fan of buying things that taste great, it's even better if you can make something that tastes great. Whoever receives your delicious, golden gift will forever associate that great taste with you (and probably ask you for more of it!).

Maple is Nature's Candy Bar

That's because it's made from maple syrup, which is 100% pure, natural and organic. It's made by boiling down the sap of a sugar maple tree, and nothing is ever added to it.

Maple is also a little-known nutritional treasure chest. It has the same calcium content as whole milk, and only two-thirds as many calories as corn syrup. It also has your vitamins and minerals, including:

Maple Sugar Sap Is Sweet From The Beginning
  • Niacin
  • Biotin
  • Folic acid
  • Potassium
  • Manganese
  • Magnesium
  • Phosphorous
  • Iron
  • Vitamins B2, B5,
    and B6

Maple's appeal has been known for a long time. Native Americans went to great lengths to get maple syrup to use in their cooking. They would make small slits in sugar maples with their tomahawks. Because they didn't have any metal pots to boil the sap, they would carve wooden vats and heat up the sap by throwing in red-hot rocks from the fire.

You Save Money

For $6.00 of maple syrup, you can have about 20 ounces of pure, fresh maple candy. That's less than a box of chocolates!

At one big gourmet website, 1.4 ounces of maple candy costs $6.99 (NOT including shipping). You can get a 48-ounce jug of pure maple syrup for about $12 locally, and it makes 38.8 ounces of maple candy. That's a significantly better deal, and you get a lot more candy.
