I just found out these recipes online, didn't try them yet. Vermont Sugar-on Snow

There is nothing more authentically Vermont than a Sugar on Snow party. A springtime tradition in Vermont, it is actually an easy-to-make treat year round.

Ingredients:

1-quart Pure Vermont Maple Syrup 1-tub of packed snow or well-crushed ice (size depends on number being served--can be as small as a quart for a few people, increase accordingly as more people come over!)

1/2 teaspoon butter Directions:

Heat syrup and butter, watching pot; turn heat down if it threatens to boil over. When a candy thermometer reaches 234°, cool slightly and test by spooning a tablespoon of syrup over the snow. If the syrup sits on top of the snow and clings to a fork like taffy, it's ready!

Pour in "ribbons" over snow or ice packed in bowls. Traditionally served with sour pickles and plain doughnuts.

______________________________________________________________ A traditional favorite. Boil maple syrup until it reaches 232 degrees F. Drop by small spoonfuls on hard packed snow or crushed ice. This one is great on ice cream as well.
