Pull Taffy

Directions

1. 1
   Cook in a pan over medium heat until the hard crack stage (a string will harden and crack when dropped into cold water).
2. 2
   Pour into a buttered pan or use several dinner plates.
3. 3
   Cool candy until you can handle it.
4. 4
   Take a handful of the taffy from the pans (it will be honey colored).
5. 5
   Keeping your hands well buttered, start pulling taffy out into a string and roping it back together.
6. 6
   Taffy will turn whiter as it is pulled and get stiffer and harder to pull.
7. 7
   Once it is white enough and seems to be stiff enough to hold its shape, pull out into a long rope and lay on waxed paper.
8. 8
   Cut the ropes into bite-sized pieces and wrap in the paper.
9. 9
   Twist the ends and store.
