Boil at this temperature for several minutes but do not stir the syrup. Watch the pot carefully! Use a candy thermometer and bring the syrup to 234˚. Maple syrup bubbles A LOT when it boils and boil overs are a risk. You will probably need about 1/4 cup of syrup per person but you want the pot to be much larger than you think.
You want the snow to be about 2 inches deep in the bowl for the best results. Fill several bowls (one per person) with fresh snow.Sugar on snow is typically served with donuts, pickles (a little sour to cut the sweet), and hot strong coffee. It starts off soft and chewy and becomes hard as it cools. As the boiling syrup hits the ice-cold snow it crystallizes and becomes like candy. Everyone enjoys watching the syrup being made and while the thick sweet steam hangs in the air, the boiling syrup is poured across pans of fresh snow. (Did you know my family used to make Maple Syrup?)ĭuring sugaring season in Vermont, it is not uncommon for local sugar shacks (places that make maple syrup) to throw sugar on snow parties. Not that fake imposter! Of course, Vermont Maple Syrup is most decidedly the best. The result is delicious, mapley goodness that is sweet and satisfying. Sugar on Snow, also called Maple Toffee, is a delicious candy treat made by pouring boiling syrup onto fresh snow. Snow Cream is good, but where I come from (Vermont), we made Sugar on Snow and in my opinion, Sugar on Snow is far superior to Snow Cream. Snow Cream is an ice cream-like dessert made by mixing fresh snow with either condensed milk or a combination of sugar and milk until it reaches a creamy consistency. We got several inches of beautiful snow at our house last night! When it does snow here in Arkansas, it is always a pretty big deal and I can count on at least several posts about Snow Cream to pop up in my social media feeds.
Most of Arkansas is shut down this morning following a winter storm that came through last night. It doesn’t snow very often in Arkansas but when it does I look forward to making Sugar on Snow! This sweet treat is common across New England and is the perfect treat after a long day of making maple syrup or a fun day of playing in the snow.
