Sugar snow candy is a simple, sweet treat you can make at home anytime of the year. Not everyone is fortunate to live in an area where you can go visit a sugar shack, but one way to enjoy the sweet goodness, besides just on pancakes and French toast, is sugar snow candy. It’s sweet, educational, and did I mention sweet 😉 If you are interested in a sweet, educational weekend and happen to be near southwest Pennsylvania, take a look at the Maple Tour weekend ( ). We also discovered this awesome, educational YouTube video ( ), which not only explains the basics on making maple syrup but the whole process the sugar tree goes through to make sugar water! My family also joins in the local sugar shack tour, visiting a few of the locals. A couple of our favorite books are Maple Syrup Season by Ann Purmell, Maple Syrup from the Sugarhouse by Laurie Lazzaro Knowlton, and At Grandpa’s Sugar Bush by Margaret Carney & Janet Wilson. Our local library carries an array of children’s books on maple syrup season. Though the process is simple, it is extremely labor intensive and involves many manhours before, during, and after.ĭuring this sweet season, we take advantage of the opportunity to add a little sweetness to our homeschooling. Making syrup is a rather “simple” but elaborate process: tap, collect sugar water, boil the sugar water to reduce to syrup, and ta-da sweet, goodness maple syrup. The local sugar shacks host a sugar tour where locals (and non-locals alike) are invited to come check out the process of making maple syrup and all the sweet treats made with the amazing, sticky goodness. Maple syrup is such a staple in our area. 😉 The area in which my family lives in southwest Pennsylvania, we are surrounded by the sweetest maple season. If you are lucky enough to live in an area which produces maple syrup, it’s a pretty sweet life. Winter time in southwest Pennsylvania usually means snow, cold, sled riding, hot cocoa, and … maple season, one of the sweetest seasons around!
