Step-by-Step Instructions
To get started on the Amish Snow Day Treat, gather all your ingredients and equipment; trust me, having everything on hand makes the process much smoother. First, in a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and corn syrup over medium heat. Stir continuously until the mixture begins to boil, which will take about 2-3 minutes.
