Maple taffy (sometimes known as «maple taffee» or «sugar on snow» in the United States) is a confection made by boiling maple sap past the point at which it forms maple syrup but not so long that it becomes maple butter or maple sugar. It is part of the traditional culture of Quebec and northern New England.

The thick liquid is poured onto the snow

Then lifted with a small wooden stick, such as a popsicle stick.

Once sufficiently hardened the candy can be picked up and eaten.
