Frequently Asked Questions on Maple Candy
Maple Candy should be stored in a cool, dry location out of direct sunlight, with the box lid closed. We recommend not putting the candy in the refrigerator because the low humidity will dry out the candy. Conversely, we recommend not putting our maple candy in a sealed zip-lock bag because some water will evaporate out of the candy and the air inside the bag will become too moist. For long term storage you can freeze maple candy, just make sure it is well sealed to prevent freezer burn.
The "Best By" date of our candy will typically be 4-5 months from when you receive your package. To ensure the freshest candy please follow our storage recommendations.
Yes, all of our maple candy is certified organic by NOFA Vermont.
Our maple candy is made only from pure, organic Vermont Maple Syrup. No other ingredient is used.
Smooth maple candy depends on carefully controlling how maple syrup crystallizes. The goal is to create many very small sugar crystals instead of fewer large crystals. Small crystals give maple candy its soft, creamy texture, while large crystals make it feel hard or grainy.
To do this, the hot maple syrup must be cooled to the right temperature before it is stirred. If the syrup is stirred while it is still too warm, the sugar crystals have more time to grow larger, which can create a coarse or grainy texture.
But the syrup cannot cool too much, either. If it gets too cool, it begins to harden before it can be poured into maple candy molds.
Every batch of maple syrup behaves a little differently, so making smooth maple candy is part science and part craft. The key is waiting long enough for the syrup to cool properly, but not so long that it hardens before it can be shaped.
These two terms are often used interchangeably, but technically maple sugar candy is made from only 100% pure maple syrup while the term maple candy includes maple sugar candy but also refers to any candy that has maple flavor. Many of these other maple flavored candies use corn syrup and other sweeteners to produce a harder, "maple drop".
We produce our candy from only 100% pure Vermont maple syrup. So if you are looking for the traditional New England treat of soft, melt-in-your-mouth, creamy maple candy, this is what we specialize in.
