He also uses a rack. http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/34318224/ns/today-today_cooking_school/#35559767 On the Today show, a Canadian chef made maple bacon and said you only apply it when the bacon is about 80% cooked otherwise it slides off.

I've actually never made maple sugar from maple syrup, so I can't really advise you on that front. (I'd love to know how you did it!) It's definitely not really supposed to be sticky. It should have a nice snap when you bite into it. I'm glad it still tasted good, though. :D Thanks for taking the time to comment! +Jessie Oh gosh, ya know…it’s supposed to be coated in a hard-ish candy shell.

Mouse posted pictures because 80% of food enjoyment is VISUAL! She wanted her readers to not only enjoy the recipe, but see what her excitement was all about. The pics were not for educational purposes so much as food pron! ;o) My mom always taught me that if you had nothing helpful to add to the conversation, keep you mouth shut. Your "critique" was unnecessary. And rude. Excellent job, Mouse. I'll be giving this recipe a try just a soon as I can. And, as this is my first visit to your adorable blog, I'll be back! Hail Holy eff, complainers!
