How to Make 14 Minute Maple Candy

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups maple syrup, 1/4 cup heavy cream, and 2 tablespoons unsalted butter. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Once boiling, **reduce heat to medium-low** and continue to cook for exactly 9 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches the soft-crack stage (235-240°F on a candy thermometer).
  3. Remove from heat and carefully stir in 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (or pecans, or your favorite nut!) and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir for 5 minutes to evenly distribute.
  4. Lightly butter an 8x8 inch baking pan. Pour the candy mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  5. Let cool completely at room temperature (about 30-45 minutes) before cutting into squares. Enjoy!
