Maple Taffy

Mmm… Maple taffy! The one-of-a-kind sugar shack treat synonymous with springtime. But did you know you can get taffy all year round? It’s true, as it is with all Québec maple products! Aside from its traditional serving on the snow, taffy delights your taste buds when added to desserts like Italian meringue and praline. Get creative! Add a hint of maple taffy to boost the flavour of savoury dishes like red meat and poultry stuffings.

For generations of Québec children, maple taffy signals the waning of winter, the time of year to go out to the sugar shack. The sap is running, collected, and boiled into syrup. It is further concentrated into thick taffy and poured in a thin ribbon onto compacted snow or crushed ice. It hardens on contact, to be twirled around a stick, and enjoyed like a perfect sucker from nature.
