I've been trying to make saltwater taffy - my biggest weakness! Here's my recipe:
2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup light corn syrup
2 teaspoons glycerin
3/4 cup water
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 to 1 teaspoon flavoring
3 drops food coloring
Mix first 7 ingredients and heat stirring on medium heat until boiling. Stop stirring and continue cooking until mixture reaches 250 degrees. Quickly add color and flavoring, cool on cookie sheet until cool enough to handle. Pull 15 minutes or more, form, cut, wrap.
However my taffy always turns out the consistency of Now 'N' Laters - very very tough to chew, and not at all light and fluffy. Please help me tweak my recipe to make my taffy lighter!
