Just because you are too CHEAP to make a nice dish occasionally doesn't mean you should give someone's creation a low score! I made a special dinner for my mother and wanted to do something special for dessert as well. This was a very tasty recipe and she enjoyed it immensely. Real maple syrup makes all the difference in the world. I will most definitely make this again someday for another special occasion!

I live in Ohio, and I get maple syrup from a couple of places. There are many producers in the northeast Ohio and some in central Ohio. I buy my syrup in the spring from a local farm, and I get a gallon of grade A medium syrup (which I prefer to the light) for $40. If you live in a state where maple syrup is produced, and it is produced in many states besides Vermont, then simply do a Google search for maple syrup in your state. You'd be surprised how many people tap even a few trees and sell excellent syrup at far less than grocery store prices.

This is great if you love maple syrup. If you have ever made homemade syrup, you would understand why it is so expensive.

egogeaux may be correct in her assessment of "subpar ingredients", but eight oz. is still only a cup and the recipe calls for two cups. I, for one, do not have a large food budget nor do I have access to an Aldi's. I notice th eperson who submitted this recipe lives in Vermont so she may well have a more reasonable access to maple syrup.

Aldi's sells 100% pure maple syrup at a very low cost. I got 8.5 ounces for $4. Also, if you want food that is one step above fantastic, sometimes you have to fork over the money for great ingredients. Sub par ingredients make sub par food.

INSTEAD OF THE PRICY MAPLE SYRUP I USED CORN SYRUP WITH SOME MAPLE FLAVORING BUT I FOUND THE DUMPLINGS TOUGH.

Amazon has Vermont Coombs 100% maple syrup, free shipping, no tax, for $10/pint. Still pricey, but I'm making this just to see.

I agree with reviewer Ohio46, the price of maple syrup in my store is $17... way too expensive to spend on a recipe --sorry!

This recipe sounds good but my interest waned rapidly when I went to Vermont sites online to price maple syrup. A pint, which is the measurement called,for was listed at $14.00 plus S&H.
