Saltwater Taffy

Created by Fizzybrat on September 13, 2017

Step 1: Grease square pan, 8x8x2 inches, with butter.
Step 2: Mix sugar and cornstarch in 2-quart saucepan.
Step 3: Stir in corn syrup, water, butter and salt. Heat to boiling over medium heat, stirring constantly.
Step 4: Cook, without stirring, to 265ºF on candy thermometer or until small amount of mixture dropped into cup of very cold water forms a hard ball that holds its shape but is pliable; remove from heat. Stir in vanilla.
Step 5: Pour into pan.
Step 6: When taffy is just cool enough to handle, pull it with lightly buttered hands until satiny, light in color and stiff.
Step 7: Pull into long strips 1/2 inch wide.
Step 8: Cut strips into 1 1/2-inch pieces, using scissors. (For easier cutting, wipe scissors with vegetable oil.)
Step 9: Wrap pieces individually in plastic wrap or waxed paper (candy must be wrapped to hold its shape).
