2. Heat up a medium sized saucepan

Make sure to bring your maple syrup starts to boil. Once your maple syrup begins to boil, make sure to lower your heat setting to medium-low.

6. Store your maple syrup popcorn in airtight containers

Once you’ve let your maple syrup popcorn cool down a little, make sure to store all of the popcorn which you don’t eat immediately in an airtight container. So that your popcorn will stay fresh.

If you want to share some of your maple syrup popcorn with your friends and family members, it’s well worth purchasing some party bags to scoop your popcorn into. In order to put a smile on your loved one’s faces!

Variations:

1. Consider adding a bit of honey to your maple syrup popcorn

While maple syrup is naturally sweet, if you love the taste of honey, you can try adding a teaspoon of honey to your maple syrup mixture. As your secret ingredient.

2. Place dried banana slices on top of your maple syrup popcorn

If you want to decorate your maple syrup popcorn, simply purchase a few dried banana slices which you can use to decorate your maple syrup popcorn.

Although it’s also worth considering offering extra toppings such as mint chocolate chips, which are sure to get your customers talking and sharing word of your business with their friends and family members.

Fresh produce stand:

Where customers will be able to stock up on healthy fruits and vegetables such as corn, tomatoes, avocados, onions, lettuce, and spinach.

Home baked goods stand:

If you’re a keen baker and can quickly bake a wide variety of delicious desserts, you may want to seriously consider setting up a home-baked goods stand. Where you’ll be able to serve a wide variety of desserts such as carrot cake, double chocolate cookies, Russian fudge, and rainbow cake.

Handicraft stand:

If you’re able to sew hand made crafts such as quilts, decorative cushion covers, and toys, you can’t go wrong setting up a handicraft stand. As in today’s day and age where the vast majority of homeware products are mass produced by machines, hand sewn handicrafts are in hot demand. So you shouldn’t have any problem selling any one of the kind handicrafts which you sew for your handicraft stand.

If you have kids, you may want to create products to sell to kids and parents such as child-sized blankets and toys.

So if you’re looking to set up your own roadside business, hopefully, you’ve discovered at least one idea which piques your interest!
