How to Make Maple Syrup Candy

  1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 2 cups of maple syrup and 1/4 cup water over medium heat.
  2. Clip a candy thermometer to the side of the pan, ensuring it doesn't touch the bottom.
  3. Cook the syrup, stirring occasionally, until it reaches 240°F (soft-crack stage) on the candy thermometer. This should take about 15-20 minutes.
  4. Carefully remove the pan from the heat. Let the syrup cool slightly to 200°F (about 5-10 minutes), stirring occasionally to prevent crystallization.
  5. Pour the syrup into lightly greased candy molds or a silicone candy mold. A baking sheet lined with parchment paper also works well.
  6. Allow the candy to cool and harden completely. This usually takes about 30-45 minutes. Once set, gently remove the candies from the molds.
