Tire Sur La Neige is a traditional Canadian dessert that has been enjoyed for generations. It is a fun and unique dessert that is perfect for cold winter days when fresh snow is abundant. Tire Sur La Neige, also known as 'Maple Taffy', is made by pouring hot maple syrup over clean and fresh snow. As the syrup cools, it is twirled into a taffy-like consistency using a popsicle stick or wooden spoon. This delicious candy is a favorite among kids and adults alike, making it a staple at winter festivals and carnivals across Canada.
