The light brown candy glistens with a sugary sheen, like new-fallen snow crystals in your yard on a hopeful winter afternoon.

And that’s what you want. More!

Maple candy is one of the sweetest gifts ever from description. From nature and folks like Rex and Janet Russell, that is.

You may know Rex and Janet for their maple syrup calling near Rome, Endless Mountains Cabin. Maple syrup is made in the delayed winter and early spring. But what you might not know is the two actually work year-exact bringing us candy, and candy, and more candy. By themselves. By hand. All the time.

“It’s about the same all the year,” Janet says of the sweetmeats business.
