Maple candy melting

[maplenutter butter]

Hi all,

Was wondering what others do for selling maple candy at outdoor markets when it's hot out. Mine likes to start melting and doesn't look very attractive anymore. Just curious what others do. I dont coat them, if I did would that help? Thanks in advance.

Keep them slightly cooled. You can use a cooler with just a gel pack or 2. Works well, unless the cooler gets no shade.

This time of year, I cook my syrup about two degrees hotter than normal

We make sure ours stay in the shade.
