Making maple syrup taffy at the sugar shack in Quebec

The sugar shack, or cabane ÃÂ sucre in French, is the traditional place in the woods where people would go every spring to make maple syrup. Nowadays, sugar shacks are popular destinations for family outings and one thing everyone looks forward to is the maple taffy, or maple syrup boiled to a specific temperature and then poured on snow to chill. Partakers dip a stick into the taffy and roll it up before eating. Some sugar shacks, like this one, run all year round for out-of-country tourists, and use artificial snow to make the traditional treat.
