We had a new snow on Friday. The grandchildren and I were hoping for a new clean snow so we could make the snow candy we've been reading about in Little House in the Big Woods. When they arrived after school I sent them out with cake pans to fill with clean snow while I heated molasses and brown sugar to the right temperature. They thought the process was a fun idea but the candy not up to their expectations. However we did allow that if it were the only candy available, as in the story, it would be great.
