Maple Sugar Goodness!!

One of my favorite things, especially as the weather starts to cool down into Autumn Awesomeness (can you tell I'm craving cooler weather?)... is this amazing candy made from maple sugar. Rightly called: Maple Sugar Candy!


Have you ever had it?

I guess I associate it with Autumn, because that was the first time I'd ever had it's melt-in-your-mouth-goodness (probably about 5 years ago). I don't know squat about harvesting maple syrup or turning it into candy... but I do believe you can get this candy any time of the year. However, you can't just pick it up at the local grocery or convenience store (at least not in PA). I have seen it at candy specialty stores and other random places though!

It comes in all shapes and sizes... we even considered having custom candies made as favors for our wedding... however, we decided to do this instead:

(Honey from my mom and uncle's own hives!)

Anywho... back to the candy...

It's the best. If you haven't tried it, you should!

I'm not kidding when I say that it melts in your mouth.

MMMMmmmm!!

My mom brought some home for me from a trip to Massachusetts this spring. I'd forgotten about it... but when I found it... it was gone in a day! She even brought a maple sugar lollipop, which Cory enjoyed (too sweet for me at this point).

Boo even liked the left overs on the stick!

(Don't worry, that was the only lick she got!)

If you see some Maple Sugar Candy... I encourage you to pick it up and try it!
You won't be disappointed!

  2. MMM...maple candy. We used to get it whenever we went up to Vermont. I have to say, I like it, but only in small does because it's SO sweet. Maple sugar covered almonds though...I could eat that by the bagful!
