- water

How to make saltwater taffy:
In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, water, syrup, salt and cocoa. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves. Continue to cook to hard ball stage (260°), without stirring, about 1 hour and 25 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in butter and flavorings. Pour into buttered 15 1/2 x 10 1/2 x 1-inch pan. Cool until comfortable to handle, 10 to 15 minutes. Butter hands lightly; gather small amounts of taffy into a ball and pull until candy becomes opaque and holds its shape. Pull each piece into a long strand about 1/2-inch thick. With buttered kitchen shears, snip into bite size pieces. Wrap in waxed paper or plastic wrap. Makes 1 1/4 pounds.Recipe categories: Desserts, Candy, Kid Friendly.
