Honey Taffy

If you haven't tried making taffy before this recipe is easy to follow and so yummy! Because I keep refined food out of the house, I used local honey instead of table sugar.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Honey
  • 1 cup Cream
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Baking soda
  • A few drops of vanilla and/or sprinkle of coarse salt is optional

Instructions

  1. Butter a pan for you taffy to cool in along with a large piece of parchment paper to slice your taffy.

  2. Add honey, cream, and salt to your sauce pan.

  3. On medium heat, give everything a quick stir.

  4. Use a candy thermometer to monitor temperature. This will be hot and boil rapidly so be careful not to burn yourself.

  5. When the thermometer reaches 280 degrees, remove candy from heat and add baking soda. Pour into buttered pan and allow to cool enough so that you can scoop out the taffy.

  6. Begin pulling taffy up and over. You will need to make sure you use butter on your hands too so that the taffy won't stick. When the taffy is the right consistency, lay onto a greased surface (parchment paper works) and using a sharp knife, cut into bit size pieces. Sprinkle with coarse salt if you'd like and then wrap in parchment paper.
