Let's make it

1. 1

   Pack a tray with clean fresh snow and put it in the freezer while you work.

2. 2

   Grown-up: boil the maple syrup in a deep pot until it reaches about 235°F (113°C) on a candy thermometer — roughly 8–10 minutes.

3. 3

   Grown-up: pour thin ribbons of the hot syrup across the cold snow.

4. 4

   Count slowly to ten while it sets and turns chewy.

5. 5

   Press a stick at one end and roll the taffy up. Eat it right away.
