    Title: Grandma's Taffy
    Categories: Candy, Snacks
    Yield: 40 Pieces

    2 c Sugar
    2 tb Cornstarch
    4 tb Butter
    1 ts Salt
    1/2 c Corn syrup
    1 1/2 c Water
    2 ts Vanilla extract
    1 tb Orange; or other flavored
    - extract
    8 Drops food coloring; any
    - color

    In a large saucepan, stir together the sugar and
    cornstarch. Add the butter, salt, corn syrup and water;
    mix well. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring to
    mix in butter. Heat to 275ºF/135ºC, or until a small
    amount of syrup dropped from a spoon forms hard but
    pliable threads.

    Remove from heat, and stir in the vanilla, flavored
    extract and food coloring. Pour into a greased 8" x 8"
    baking dish. When cooled enough to handle, remove candy
    from the pan, and pull until it loses its shine and
    becomes stiff. Pull into ropes, and use scissors to cut
    into 1" pieces. Wrap each piece in waxed paper.

    Yield: 40 pieces
