I made this recipe with a 12- and 11-year old. We took it off the stove at about 230 degrees, because it looked like it was starting to burn. We divided the taffy before adding the extracts; we made maple, mint and vanilla. Maple tastes like butterscotch. I think we pulled the taffy too long because it was very hard to chew- it actually pulled out someone's metal filling. We 1/2ed the salt, omitted the food coloring and almonds, it tasted great!

This was a good recipe, but not exactly what I was hoping for. I did get it to pull and form into smaller candies wrapped in wax paper, but I couldn't get the "shiny" appearance to go away. Maybe I should have just pulled longer?? The taste seemed very sugary comparitive to store bough taffy, but the texture and feel was close. I may try again and see if I can nail it the second time around.

I agree with two other reviews, turned out too soft, had to boil 2x, and cut salt in half. Otherwise, flavor was good

This recipe was great and I have made it twice already. I would, however suggest using 1/2 the amount of salt the recipe calls for. Thanks for sharing this!

It looked good when I started, but When is cooled, it never hardened, it jsut turned into a cold lumpy puddle, I think my candy thermometer was stuck on 100C so I'm not sure what was the problem

Easy and a lot of fun! My kids helped with the pulling and it can get sticky. It's so much fun, a Taffy pulling party is in the works here!! I used flavorings such as banana, cherry and lemon you can buy from the grocery store in the spice section and it was very, very tasty! Thanks for the recipe!!

I have made this recipe. It started off pretty well, but when you get to the cooling part, watch out. It starts harding and it is as hard as a rock before it has cooled off. Are you supposed to strech taffy as it is burning your hands? I threw it in a pan and waited for it to cool down. It tastes very good, I give Monica that, but it looks like a hard puddle. It also took a long time to clean off. I had to soak it for a few hours and then scrub for a long time.

I couldn't get this to go very hard, it stayed pretty liquid, but it tasted good anyways off a spoon.
