Indulge in this simple and delightful taffy pull recipe.
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 0.25 cup light corn syrup
  • 0.66666698455811 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons almond extract
  • 0.5 cup sliced almonds
  • 10 drops green food coloring
Instructions:
  • Prepare an 8-inch square pan by greasing it with butter; set aside.
  • In a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat, meld sugar, corn syrup, water, butter, cornstarch, and salt until well blended. Bring to a boil and cook unstirred until reaching 250°F (120°C) on a candy thermometer.
  • Once off the heat, add in vanilla, almond extract, almonds, and food coloring, stirring well. Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan. Allow it to cool until lukewarm and pliable throughout.
  • To achieve a fluffy and light-colored texture, fold, double, and pull taffy vigorously for 5 to 10 minutes. If the taffy becomes sticky, lightly butter your hands. Once ready, cut the taffy into pieces with scissors and wrap each piece tightly in plastic wrap to retain its shape.
