Brittany's Easy Maple Syrup

Ingredients:

• 2 cups sugar
• 1 cup water
• 1 T. maple (Don't use maple extract, it won't taste as strong. Use real maple.)

Mix together sugar and water and stir constantly over heat. Right when it starts to boil, remove from heat and add the maple extract. Tip: Make sure you are watching and stirring or it will boil over.

Volcanoes

Brittany shared this treat. They look yummy!!

Ingredients:

• 1 bag of square pretzels
• 2 bags Rolo candies
• 1 bag M&Ms

Spread pretzels on a tinfoil-lined cookie sheet.  Add a Rolo on top of each pretzel. Bake in the oven 5-10 minutes at 400 degrees. You want the Rolos soft but not melting.  Take out of oven and immediately push an M&M down into the middle of each Rolo. Cool and enjoy!
