The process of making pure maple candy is a time-honored tradition that has been passed down through the generations. The pure maple syrup is heated to a high temperature and then carefully poured into molds to cool and harden into the iconic maple leaf shape. The result is a smooth, melt-in-your-mouth candy that is bursting with the rich, complex flavor of pure maple syrup. Whether enjoyed on its own or used to sweeten a cup of hot tea or coffee, pure maple candy is a true delight for the senses.
