Maple Syrup Hard Candy

1. 1

   Spray the cooking spray inside the candy molds or over the entire pan you are using.

2. 2

   Pour 2 cups of maple syrup into the bottom of the pot.

3. 3

   Clip the candy thermometer to the side of the pot so the tip is in the maple syrup but not touching the sides or bottom of the pot.

4. 4

   Place the pot on the stove top over medium-low heat.

5. 5

   Heat the maple syrup, without stirring, until the candy thermometer reaches 300 degrees F.

6. 6

   Immediately pour the maple syrup out of the pot and into the candy mold or onto the baking pan.

7. 7

   Let the candy dry until it is completely cooled and hard.

8. 8

   Turn the mold upside down and tap the bottom to remove the candy. Gently tap the candy in the baking pan with a heavy object (such as a hammer or a can wrapped in wax paper). This will break the candy apart into smaller pieces.

9. 9

   Toss the candy with powdered sugar to prevent it from clumping together during storage.

10. 10

    Place the candy in an air-tight container and eat it within two weeks.
