Unless you live in some horrible utopia without seasons, fall has descended like a warm – cold – blanket, wrapping you with wet leaves of many colors, harbingering hot cocoa, carved pumpkins, and whatever autumnal cliché you want right here.

The Brown Family Farm of Brattleboro, Vermont, makes all manner of maple syrupy things, but we’re trying the Pure Maple Candy – in the shape of a leaf.
Have you ever had maple candy? I mean, candy with only one ingredient: 100% pure maple syrup? Well, what are you waiting for? This stuff’s delicious.
Wait, you haven’t? You want to know what it tastes like?
