Old-Fashioned Peppermint Taffy
This taffy brings back many memories of my grandmother. I used to help her every Christmas Eve pull this taffy. This recipe is a family favorite.—Suzette Jury, Keene, California

Wonderful candy. I did have to cook it more than the recipe calls for and had to add more sugar to get it to the consistency needed to pull. But it was great and eaten quickly!
I have that sweet memory too, The whole family, buttered hands, the peppermint aroma that filled our house and our hearts."Mom insisted though that the weather has to be dry,cold and clear to make it." I don't know why but she insisted on that."
making my own candy lei with something like this for christmas, so I am real happy to do it with this recipe, mahalo nui loa.
