Candy, candy, and more candy


welcomehomeminis

Pre-made maple candies come in two main types: formed/ pressed maple sugar candy (tastes a bit like eating a clump of brown sugar), and hard candies like any lozenge-type candy. And then of course, there's maple fudge. (And fresh-taffy pulling, but we'll get to that later!)

I have family members who swear by the hard-candy type (which is more traditional to Québec), and family members who only love the pressed-sugar type (very New England). Personally, I'll gladly forsake both for a good homemade fudge, so at the Aucoins' shop, they sell it all!

These candies (and a few cookies) were made in several ways. Some are stained-glass paint, squirted out in tiny amounts and dried on waxed paper, then peeled off; some are polymer clay, or polymer clay with additions to it in the case of the maple-nut fudge; and the pressed-sugar ones are polymer clay mixed about 1:1 with craft sand, to give it that gritty, granulated-sugary look.
