We woke up this morning to another beautiful SNOW DAY!
I am truly lovin’ the peaceful blanket of snow covering our neighborhood, but I may be going a little stir crazy! This time last year we were in Texas and it was HOT, y’all! Like tank tops and flip flop weather! So besides our typical movies and board games, I decided to stock up on snow themed library books to read with my girls. 
 
 
  One that the girls and I really enjoyed was called Cold Snap. It includes a recipe for Snow Candy so we decided we had to make our own. It was soooo good. 
 
All you need is snow and hot maple syrup and you can make this tasty winter treat too!

Maple Snow Candy

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • medium bowl of fresh snow

Instructions

  • Bring maple syrup to a boil in a small saucepan.
  • Drizzle hot maple syrup lightly over the snow.
  • Use forks to eat this sticky sweet treat right away!

How fun are kids books that include recipes and crafts?!
My kiddos and I love to cook food inspired by stories we read or movies we watch so this was a perfect snow day activity. 
 
 
I always keep a bottle of real maple syrup on hand. 
Not just for pancakes but also for vinaigrettes and dessert toppings.
 
Bring in a bowl of fresh clean snow.
 
 
This is a recipe you can all share out of one larger bowl 
or add snow to small bowls for individual treats. 
 
 
Bring maple syrup to a boil in a small saucepan.
 
 
Drizzle hot maple syrup lightly over the snow.
 
 
Ava liked helping make this treat …..
 
 
….and eat it too!
 
 
Use forks to eat this sticky sweet treat right away!
 
 
You can add as little or as much syrup as you want .
 
 
But it does melt and loose the snow texture if you pour on too much too fast!
 
 

  Happy Snow Day!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup canned Pumpkin pie filling/mix
  • 1 Mama Mary's Mini Original Pizza Crust

  • 2 tbs brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice

For the Maple Whipped Cream

  • 2 tsp maple syrup
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Melt 1/2 of the butter and 1 tbsp brown sugar in a small skillet.
  • Brush onto on side of pizza crust.
  • Place on a baking sheet and bake for 3 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add the rest of butter and 1 tbsp brown sugar to the skillet again.
  • Once it is melted add pecans and stir.
  • Cook for 2-3 minutes over medium until pecans are toasted and coated in sugar. Remove from heat.
  • Take crust out of oven and spread pumpkin pie filling evenly on top.
  • Sprinkle with pumpkin pie spice.
  • Remove pecans from butter mixture and sprinkle evenly on top of pizza.
  • Bake for 7 more minutes.
  • Remove pizza from oven.
  • Cut into 4 pieces.
  • Top with a dollop or two of whipped cream and serve!

For the Maple Whipped Cream

  • Using a cold bowl and beaters (I put mine in the freezer for about 30 minutes before using) beat heavy cream and maple syrup on high until stiff peaks form.

 
I used Mama Mary’s original mini pizza crust for this bite size dessert. 
Perfect for 2-4 people!
Melt butter and 1 tbsp brown sugar in a skillet then brush on pizza crust.
Bake the crust in a 425 degree oven for 3 minutes.
Melt 1 tbsp of brown sugar and remaining butter then add pecans and toast for 2-3 minutes
 until coated in sugar and crunchy.
Remove the pizza crust from the oven and top with 1/2 cup pumpkin pie filling.
Sprinkle with pumpkin pie spice.
Top with sugared toasted pecans.
Bake for 7 more minutes at 425 degrees.
Homemade maple whipped cream only takes a few minutes and 2 ingredients:
 heavy cream and maple syrup!
Start with a very cold bowl and beaters.
Beat on high in a mixing bowl until stiff peaks form.

How amazing does this look?!
Take the Pumpkin Pecan Pie Pizza out of the oven and cut into pieces.
 
Top with Maple Whipped Cream and serve!
