Then wait until candy is cool enough to handle. Butter your hands and pull candy back and forth into long ropes, twisting and pulling, until candy changes to a light color and it is too hard to pull any more. Stretch and twist out into ropes about 1/2 inch in thickness, cut with scissors into 1-inch pieces. Wrap in waxed paper. If candy is pulled long enough the taffy will be chewy, and will be taffy, if not you will get molasses hard candies. :)
