Taffy

Categories: Food | Candy
  • Taffy is a confection made from sugar, butter, and flavorings that has a chewy texture obtained by twisting and pulling the cooked ingredients into elasticity.

    Any taffy must use a process to make the product chewy. Most taffies made by individual vendors use corn syrup and butter, whereas prepackaged and mass-produced taffy uses chemical components and a speedy pulling process to stretch the candy over itself until the correct consistency is reached.

  • Fast Facts:

    1. Salt water taffy was an invention of Atlantic City, New Jersey.
    2. Saltwater taffy does not, to the surprise of many, contain saltwater.
    3. The two initial companies, James Salt Water Taffy and Fralinger’s still make saltwater taffy, and recipes have only changed slightly since their inception.
