Syrup is typically heated to around 235-240°F (113-116°C) before pouring.

HOW TO PLAY
1

Pack fresh, clean snow tightly into trays or a clear patch of snowy ground.

2

Heat maple syrup in a pot until it reaches a thick, taffy-forming temperature.

3

Pour thin ribbons of the hot syrup directly onto the packed snow.

4

Wait a few seconds for the syrup to cool and set against the snow into a soft, chewy taffy.

5

Twirl the taffy onto a wooden stick or fork and lift it off the snow to eat.
