Time 20m

Yield 40

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
4 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup corn syrup
1 ½ cups water
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon orange, or other flavored extract
8 drops any color food coloring

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, stir together the sugar and cornstarch. Add the butter, salt, corn syrup and water; mix well. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring to mix in butter. Heat to 275 degrees F (134 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped from a spoon forms hard but pliable threads.
  • Remove from heat, and stir in the vanilla, flavored extract and food coloring. Pour into a greased 8x8 inch baking dish. When cooled enough to handle, remove candy from the pan, and pull until it loses its shine and becomes stiff. Pull into ropes, and use scissors to cut into 1 inch pieces. Wrap each piece in waxed paper.

Time 40m

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups sugar
1 cup molasses
¼ cup water
2 teaspoons white vinegar
2 tablespoons butter
½ teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

  • Lightly grease a baking sheet. Bring the sugar, molasses, water, and vinegar to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir until the sugar has reached the hard ball stage, 250 to 265 degrees F (121 to 129 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a rigid ball.
  • Remove from the heat, and stir in the butter and baking soda. Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, and allow to cool until cool enough to handle, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Once cool enough to handle, fold the taffy in half, then pull to double its original length. Continue folding and pulling until the taffy has turned golden brown, and is too stiff to pull anymore. Cut the taffy into bite sized pieces, and wrap in waxed paper. Store in an airtight container.
