If you have ever seen taffy makers in action, you will understand why this is such a special treat.
The taffy-making tradition typically played out at the seashore and amusement parks. Imagine strolling down the boardwalk on the eastern seashore and seeing a candy shop. Inside, the shopkeepers hand-pulled the candy into the delightful concoction you love so much. They would take about ten to twenty five pounds of the taffy and hang in on a hook for stretching. Once it reached about five or six feet in length, they would pick it up and hang it back on the hook to let gravity work its magic once again. Pulling and stretching the taffy over and over puts air into the mixture and gives it an unforgettable texture.
Today, machines handle the stretching and pulling process but to good effect. It’s tasty and has that special stretched-out texture. Typical ingredients include corn syrup, butter, and sugar. Add in some exciting new flavors and you have a winning combination.
You don’t have to go on vacation to get the good stuff either, order Laffy Taffy from Sugar Stand and chew to your heart’s delight. You’ll love the bold flavors and the silly jokes. Taffy is best stored in an airtight container to keep out the moisture. If the candy gets wet, it can get sticky. Stock up on your favorite flavors but store them properly!
