Maple taffy recipe

[Bbc.396]

Anyone have a recipe on how to make taffy. Looking to make soft taffy.

There is no recipe, just boil the syrup until there are large bubbles in the foam and the edges of the bubbles are starting to darken then pour onto snow or ice, cooling it quickly and roll the taffy onto popsicle sticks. I'm sure there a temp you could look for on a candy thermometer but we dont use one so cant tell you what it is! If you allow the syrup to cool slowly with gentle stirring you will get maple candy as the sugar has time to form Crystal's and harden. You're essentially taking the syrup at 33% water down to 0% water.

I haven’t made snow candy yet, but I will. I have made maple fudge, real fudge and real taffy. Real taffy you heat to the hard ball stage, but maple taffy or snow candy you heat to the soft ball stage temperature of 235°.

This is a simple video, but it covers the main points and shows how simple it is to make. https://youtu.be/V7bmSLOubsM

We heat the syrup to between 232 and 234 degrees depending on the barometric pressure. Once you remove it from the heat, don't move it around. Let the bubbles settle down before you pour it. We serve around 1000 taffy pops on Maine maple weekend. We put it in mason jars with a pour lid and have them in a hot water bath, waiting to be poured onto the snow.
