Method:

1. Combine sugar, water and corn syrup in a saucepan, stirring until well blended.

2. Boil over moderate heat to hard-crack stage (310°F), until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water will break with a brittle snap.

3. Remove from heat, and stir in soda and maple flavoring. Stir vigorously until well blended, but not enough to destroy foam made by soda.

4. Turn at once into un-greased shallow pan, about 9 inches square.

5. Let stand without moving until completely cold. Knock out of pan and crush between sheets of waxed paper to make coarse crumbs.

Filling: Whip cream with sugar and flavoring.
