Maple candy is a sweet treat made from maple syrup, which is derived from the sap of sugar maple trees. The syrup is boiled down to a specific temperature, allowing it to crystallize into a solid form. This process creates a rich, sweet flavor that is distinctively associated with maple. Typically, maple candy is shaped into small molds or formed into bite-sized pieces. It is often enjoyed as a snack or used as a topping for desserts. The candy is popular in regions where maple syrup is produced, especially in North America.
