Quebec Maple Taffy Pull

Pack a shallow tray or clean patch of snow for each player or team.

Drizzle a thin ribbon of hot maple syrup directly onto the snow and let it firm up for a few seconds.

Roll the softened taffy onto a wooden stick as it sets, twisting to gather it into a lollipop shape.

Race to see who can wind up the neatest, largest taffy swirl before it hardens completely.

Compare and taste-test the results, awarding a playful prize for the best-looking twist.
