Honey Cream Taffy Recipe

Prep: 1-3/4 hours + cooling

Yield: 60 Servings

105 105

Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter, softened
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 cups honey
1 cup sugar

Directions

Grease a 15x10x1-in. pan with butter; place in the refrigerator. In a large deep heavy saucepan, combine cream and honey. Add sugar; cook over medium heat and stir with a wooden spoon until sugar is melted and mixture comes to a boil.
Cover pan with a tight-fitting lid and boil for 1 minute. Uncover; cook, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reads 290° (soft-crack stage). Remove from the heat and pour into prepared pan (do not scrape sides of saucepan). Cool for 5 minutes. Using a wooden spoon, bring edges of honey mixture into center of pan. Cool 5-10 minutes longer or until cool enough to handle.
Using buttered hands, pull and stretch taffy until ridges form. (Taffy will lose its gloss and become light tan in color.) Pull into ropes about 1/2 in. thick. With a buttered kitchen scissors, cut into 1-in. pieces. Wrap individually in plastic wrap or waxed paper. Yield: about 5 dozen.

Editor's Note: We recommend that you test your candy thermometer before each use by bringing water to a boil; the thermometer should read 212°. Adjust your recipe temperature up or down based on your test.

I know this has 2 cups of honey in it, but for some reason I wasn't expecting the honey flavor to be as strong as it was. It tasted good, but I think I'll try a different flavor taffy next time. If you attempt to pull the taffy by yourself, I suggest letting it cool almost to room temp before handling it and work air into about 1/8 of the taffy at a time.
