I thought I would share with you one of our favorite recipes from when we learned about Native American Indians. It is very easy to make and a favorite with children. Warning: It is addictive!
INGREDIENTS:
1 lb. of Powdered Sugar
1/3 Cup Margarine
1/3 cup Pancake Syrup (pure Canadian Maple Syrup would also taste great)
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
halved pecans (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS:
Mix all ingredients in a large bowl and work with your hands or a large spoon until smooth and creamy. It will be very sticky. Roll into teaspoon or tablespoon sized balls and barely flatten tops to add a slice of halved pecans.
Tip: Put it in the freezer to quicken the hardening process. It won’t get very hard, just firm enough that it stays in a cream-candy consistency so you can handle it without sticky fingers. It tastes good cold (but not frozen!).

I have to say, that anything with maple, and candy in the title piques my interest. I love candy, and maple flavor. I can’t wait to try this. But, if what you say is true, and it’s addictive, expect to hear from my lawyer. Just kidding, he’s a candy fan too! 😉 Cheers!
Let me know if you try it. 🙂
I was not able to mix them into balls. The consistency was more like frosting…
I was unable to form balls. The consistency wa more like frosting.
