Molasses taffy

Ingredients/Components

• sugar - 1/3 c
• molasses - 1 c
• margarine

How to make molasses taffy:

Melt margarine in a saucepan. Tip the pan to grease the sides. Add sugar and molasses. Stir until well dissolved. Bring this mixture to a boil, stirring slowly and constantly. (Candy is done when a drop dropped into cold water becomes brittle.) Pour taffy into well-greased platter. When cool enough to handle, grease hands and pull candy from hand to hand until firm and of a gold color. Draw into a smooth band or twist into rope. Cut into short lengths with kitchen shears. Spread on wax paper to finish cooling.
