Happy New Year everyone!!! 2011 is sure to be one of the Best year’s yet! I’m so happy it’s finally here. 🙂
I just got back from an incredible ski trip in Whistler, Canada, where they served these sticks of maple syrup poured onto a bed of snow, to form a taffy-like treat. It was the best way to replenish my energy after a day on the slopes!
In 5th grade I actually wrote a paper on the Colonial Days where I remember reading that these were the treats of choice back in the day!
To see more pics from my Whister trip, click after the break. Official dessert reviews will resume tomorrow! Hats off the the people of Whislter for being some of the nicest people in the World!

happy holidays jenny! i remember reading about this kinda snow/maple syrup candy in laura ingalls wilder’s book – “little house in the big woods”
I love that! I’ve been trying to make it ever since my trip to Quebec 5 years ago. I always mess it up though because the maple syrup melts the snow. It’s really not as simple as it looks!
Omg! Real maple syrup and snow – yummers! And look at that beautiful thick powder! Looks like a great time! Glad to see you had a memorable holiday. Great pics too! Happy 2011, DD!
I love this! I totally remember reading about this and always wanting to try it. Great post !
Love the blue necklace yet the other necklaces also look awesome!
