Molasses Taffy Recipe
  • Prep: 45 min. Cook: 30 min. + cooling
  • Yield: 100 Servings
45 30 75

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon plus 3 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup molasses
  • 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

  • Line an 8-in. square pan with foil. Grease the foil with 1 teaspoon butter; set aside.
  • In a large heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, water, molasses and remaining butter. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook without stirring until a candy thermometer reads 260° (hard-ball stage).
  • Remove from the heat; stir in chocolate and vanilla. Pour into prepared pan. Cool slightly. Score the surface into small squares. Cool completely and cut along scored lines. Wrap candy in waxed paper. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 1 pound.

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.
