Recipe — No-Cook Maple Candy
Featuring Maple Syrup
30 portions
Metric Imperial

Ingredients

  • 5 oz fine maple sugar
  • 4 teaspoons maple syrup (preferably very dark syrup for its strong flavour)

Method

  1. Pour the maple sugar into a bowl. Add 5 ml (1 teaspoon) maple syrup at a time. After each addition, knead the sugar to evenly moisten the mixture.
  2. Repeat until you obtain a moist, sandy texture (it should hold together when pressed through your fingers).
  3. Fill the wells of a chocolate mould* with the mixture, pressing firmly. Level with a spatula, removing any excess sugar.
  4. Unmould candies immediately onto a dry work surface. You will need to tap gently to pop the candies out. Some may resist, but keep tapping and eventually they will come out.
  5. Let stand for one hour before handling.

These no-cook maple candies will keep for one month in a dry place.
* Chocolate moulds can be found in kitchen supply stores.

More about Maple

Maple syrup comes in four classifications, according to colour and taste.

At the start of sugaring season, syrup is generally clear, with a lightly sweet taste. It becomes darker and caramelized as the season goes on.

An unopened can of maple syrup keeps for many years.

Once the can is opened, syrup should be kept in an airtight container in a cool place.

100% pure maple butter contains no butter or dairy.

Like all 100% pure maple products, maple butter comes from the sap of the maple tree… and that’s all.
