Wow! Where can I get maple sugar, do you think? That maple cream pie looks amazing!

I've purchased it at a health food store. Yummy stuff. Kinda expensive.

World Market?

wonder if you could approximate by treating it like home made brown sugar

home made brown sugar is

2 Tablespoon Molasses
1 Cup White Sugar


So would

2 Tablespoon Maple Syrup
1 Cup White Sugar

be a maple sugar substitute? I'm tempted to try this ...
