It’s safe to say that we’ve got maple syrup on our minds! Between checking our taps daily and our daughter’s love of maple sugaring themed books, we have it covered. And we’ve been eager to try Sugar on Snow, aka Maple Taffy, aka easy, fun, and delicious treat!

We were inspired to make it after reading The Missing Maple Syrup Sap Mystery by Gail Gibbons to our daughter, which is such a great book but is sadly out of print (try your local libraries, ours had it!). It covers the sugaring process in a way a young kid can understand and is downright funny. SPOILER ALERT: At the end they make Sugar on Snow, and it just seemed too fun and easy to pass up!
