MomsMenu.com Recipe Finder Molasses Taffy

1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup dark corn syrup
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 cup molasses
1 teaspoon butter
1 teaspoon baking soda

Place all ingredients except the soda in a medium saucepan. Cook and stir on medium heat until boiling. Cook on medium heat without stirring until temperature reaches 264° F (129°C) on a candy thermometer. Remove from heat, add sifted baking soda and mix well. Pour into 3 or 4 greased pie plates, cool until lukewarm and pull
until taffy becomes a golden color.

To pull taffy, generously butter hands, pull taffy two feet long, fold in two and pull again until taffy is of desired color. Stretch in a long rope one inch (2.5 cm) thick and cut in one inch (2.5 cm) lengths. Wrap each candy in buttered wax paper.
