We had a taffy pull today and had so much fun. I've tried it before and not had the recipe work so I was glad when I found success with this recipe...
Taffy
Pull family or friends together for a great taffy pull. It makes a great tradition!
Prep Time: 20 min
Total Time: 1 hour 2 min
Makes: 4 dozen candies
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
3/4 cup light corn syrup
2/3 cup water
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla
1. Grease square pan, 8x8x2 inches, with butter. Mix sugar and cornstarch in 2-quart saucepan. Stir in corn syrup, water, butter and salt. Heat to boiling over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook, without stirring, to 265ºF on candy thermometer or until small amount of mixture dropped into cup of very cold water forms a hard ball that holds its shape but is pliable; remove from heat. Stir in vanilla. Pour into pan.
2. When taffy is just cool enough to handle, pull it with lightly buttered hands until satiny, light in color and stiff. Pull into long strips 1/2 inch wide. Cut strips into 1 1/2-inch pieces, using scissors. (For easier cutting, wipe scissors with vegetable oil.) Wrap pieces individually in plastic wrap or waxed paper (candy must be wrapped to hold its shape).
