Ingredients

8 cups snow or finely grated ice
1 cup pure maple syrup
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt (such as Maldon)
6 craft sticks

Directions

1

Pack snow or grated ice on a rimmed baking sheet. Press down to create an even layer, and place in freezer.
2

Combine maple syrup and ginger in a small saucepan over high. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring often, until a candy thermometer registers 240°F (soft ball stage), about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat.
3

Place prepared baking sheet of snow from freezer to the counter. Pour hot syrup mixture into 6long strips over the snow. Quickly sprinkle a bit of salt over each syrup strip. Working quickly, use a craft stick to press gently on 1 end of each strip; roll slightly hardened maple candy mixture onto the stick, gently forming into a candy pop at the end of each stick.
4

Place finished candy pops on a sheet of parchment paper while you make the rest, and enjoy candy immediately.
