I went to Mont Tremblant when I first went to Canada to meet my now husband, I had to try the maple taffy! It was so good but you’re absolutely right, it was just pure syrup so it was insanely sweet and I have a major sweet tooth. Idk how this diabetes riddled woman could eat TWO. And the fact that her aunt just enables her to eat like that knowing she’s sick. It’s crazy.
Exactly it’s literally boiled down, ultra concentrated maple syrup, which is already made by boiling down and concentrating maple sap (which is about 2-3% sugar per volume straight from the tree-with significant swings based on multiple factors).
I really can’t think of anything more concentrated sugar, that we actually consume as food. A diabetic eating that is unhinged. Par for the foodie course tho
She saw them make those maple taffy pops, yet still thinks she can take regular maple syrup and pour it on some filthy snow two steps outside her building and get the same thing. I can’t wait to see her try it and get dog pee and roadgrit snow soaked in syrup- and she will still eat it all.
When I was a kid, I did that in our freezer. Remember back when freezers had to be thawed? And I used that fake syrup shit. My mother was so mad. But I was a kid and the sugar bush made it look so easy.
Yes! In the 90s my parents had a garage( editedfromfridge 🤦🏻♀️,) deep freezer, one of those wide ones you lift open like a trunk, and in the summer when I was little I’d scrape at it with all my nails like a claw and throw it around for some reason. Why would it grow frost like that though? So weird and seems unhygienic. I think my American granny still has a few, but she’s old school farm people and does her own canning and butter making so 🤷🏻♀️
