Supplies needed
- 1 cup molasses
- 1 cup brown sugar
- several pans of snow
- pot and thermometer
First we had to go and and scoop up our snow.
Then measure out the molasses and sugar.
Stir it all up and put on the stove. Cook until it comes to the hard crack stage.
Then carefully drizzle the hot syrup mixer onto the snow and it hardens immediately.
Once it is cool take it out and set on wax paper.
Then enjoy!
The left over snow was yummy to!
We sure had fun!
It was very tasty candy! It makes a lot (in case you wanted to half the recipe). And it bubbles and expands while it cooks...so use a big sauce pot.
ReplyDeleteLooks and sounds fun!!! I think it's great to teach the girls to use things that are available in nature! Good job!!!
ReplyDeleteWe came to look at the snow candy since we just finished the "Christmas" chapter in the book "Little House in the Big Woods" . . . we're sad these pictures are gone - oh well.
ReplyDeleteNeat idea!
