Make Perfect Maple Candy With My Recipe Guide

Don't You Hate
Maple Candy
That...

-Wastes syrup?

-Tastes grainy?

-Takes too long
to cook?

-Is a product of "winging it"?

-Doesn't win you compliments
every time?

If so, read on!

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.

—"Do's and Don'ts" Tip #3 in my guide

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.

Want to Make Maple Sugar Candy That's Perfect Every Time?

If you've experienced 100%-pure maple sugar candy, you know what I mean by "perfect." But if you haven't...then you're in for a treat.

Ordinary maple candy often tastes crunchy because it has sugar added to it. But the very best maple candy is smooth as silk and made entirely from pure maple syrup. It has an intense yet surprisingly mild flavor.

"I am thrilled that my maple candy came out perfectly the first time I tried. Your directions and pictures, along with all the extra tips made it really easy. I could not believe I made this special candy myself. My kids looked forward to having a piece in their stocking each Christmas so now I can make it instead of pay big bucks for it at the store."

—Judy Grimes, Shreveport, LA

Maple Candy Is Fun to Make

A bit of magic happens when you make maple candy. An important step is to stir the syrup after it cools off. After you stir for a couple minutes, it suddenly seizes up and turns to solid right before your eyes! In the space of literally 30 seconds, you go from stirring dark, rich syrup to having solid, golden nuggets of maple candy.

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 followed 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 the store-bought. I got almost 10oz of candy from 12oz of syrup, so it only 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 with stale cake or a bag of crushed cookies.

No need to spend hours preparing a thoughtful dessert: you can make a perfect batch of maple candy in 35 minutes.

Maple candy is a great gift also because it's from you—something you made. Whoever receives your delicious, golden gift will always associate that great taste with you.

"With your recipe, I made maple candy successfully the first time without any problems. I used a really large pyrex measuring cup with a handle to cool it in instead of a salad bowl and it made stirring really easy. I have been looking for real maple candy since I moved to Florida almost thirty years ago and have never found it. This recipe was perfect. Thanks!"

—Mary P. Martinez, Altamonte Springs, FL

Maple Is Mother Nature's Candy Bar

Maple trees get all the nutrition they need for hundreds of years as a result of their sap, which is all you need to make perfect maple candy. You're getting a concentrated shot of that nourishing goodness, and you can satisfy your sweet tooth with a surprisingly small bite.

That's because it's made from real maple syrup, which is 100% pure, natural, and organic. The syrup is made by boiling down the sap of a sugar maple tree—that's it!

It's 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:

Niacin
Biotin
Folic acid
Potassium
Manganese
Magnesium
Phosphorous
Iron
Vitamins B2, B5,
and B6

Maple's appeal is nothing new. 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 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

Even if you buy a mere $6.00 of maple syrup, you can have about 20 ounces of pure, fresh maple candy. That's less than that box of waxy chocolates you can get at the market!

My recipe guide yields a hearty platter of candy for an inexpensive amount of syrup. A little bit of math illustrates this, if you'd like:

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.

"I tried your recipe, and I have to say it was so easy to follow, and the candy turned out YUMMY, and we ate it all. No problems, came out great the first time. Thanks again."

—Dee Williams, Sparks, NV

—Sherri J. Perry, Ashland, NH

P.S. Get ready for tons of compliments from your family and friends (and your own taste buds) on your handmade, homemade maple sugar candy!

"My daughter and I wanted to thank you for the most WONDERFUL recipe for maple sugar! We made it as a class project for the kids in her class. We live in NH and the kids actually have a sugar shack at their school where they tap trees and make their own syrup. We followed your directions to the letter and the resulting maple sugar candy is the best we've ever tasted! (it is way better than the stuff you buy at the store!!). The photos helped immensely.

"Thank you so much for the recipe guide--I'm sure we never would have succeeded in our efforts without it!"

—Ruth Davis, Durham, NH

P.P.S. I've sent recipe guides to dessert lovers all over the US and Canada. Is your home on the "Maple Map"?:

A map of the areas to which I've shipped my maple candy recipe guide

"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."

—Christina Lewis, Spring Hill, FL
