Taffy Pulling

Taffy pulling is a process used to make soft, chewy candy known as taffy. It involves heating sugar, butter, and other ingredients until they melt into a heated syrup. The syrup is then poured onto a cool surface and repeatedly stretched and folded, or "pulled," to incorporate air and develop a smooth, elastic texture. This process also cools the candy and creates thin layers that give taffy its characteristic chewiness. Taffy pulling requires skill to achieve the right consistency, resulting in a uniform, flavorful confection with a shiny appearance.
