Very sweet candies for a special treat.
Yield: Makes 1-1/2-2 dozen.
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup dark maple syrup
- 1/2 cup cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
- 1 cup pecans or cashews, coarsely chopped
Bring sugar, syrup, and cream to a boil and continue boiling until mixture reaches 240 degrees F on a candy thermometer (or until a bit of syrup dropped into cold water forms a medium-firm ball). Remove from heat, let mixture cool slightly, and beat with a wooden spoon until creamy. Add flavorings and beat again until well blended. Stir in nuts. Drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper and allow to set before removing.
