NANA'S CREAM CANDY (PULLED TAFFY)
I remember helping nana with the pulling and actually enjoying it. Now i have my lil guy help me! Its a bit of work but worth it in the end!! You can use many flavors for this peppermint, orange, vanilla, molasses, coffee, coconut, lemon, banana, lemon etc. Use your imagination! You can also use food coloring to color the taffy...

Steps:
- 1. Put all ingredients except the vanilla (or whatever flavor you use) and butter into a heavy sauce pan.
- 2. Bring your taffy to a boil over medium high heat. Let it keep on a boiling until your candy thermometer reaches 258 degrees. This should take about 35-40 minutes. (if you put a bit of taffy on a spoon and run some cold water over the top it should look kind of stiff if it is ready to go..over cooking makes it hard to pull and under cooking makes it too sticky to pull)
- 3. Remove taffy from heat and add vanilla. Then add butter and stir until all the butter has melted.
- 4. Butter a cookie sheet and Pour the taffy onto the sheet (it should be a golden yellowish color)
- 5. Let taffy cool until it is cool enough to handle. Now pinch taffy on sheet into about 12 seperate sections. (little circlish shapes on the sheet)
- 6. When the candy is cool enough to pick up everyone gets a piece and it is time to start pulling and folding. Pull and stretch the taffy and then fold it into itself. pull and fold over and over until your taffy is a nice white color.
- 7. Now stretch these pieces into ropes and put on wax paper. Now break it into pieces and wrap in wax paper twisted at edges. (A grandma tip: hold rope in palm of your hand and tap it with the back end of a butter knife or similiar object. this should break the taffy easily.
- 8. Note: If adding food coloring to taffy add it at the same time you add the flavoring.

PULLED TAFFY CANDY CANES
My grandmother always made these at Christmastime and said her mother did, too. The soft and chewy canes have a great minty flavor. They're especially nice because the whole family can pitch in to prepare them. -Sheryl O'Danne, Port Townsend, Washington

- Combine sugar, salt and boiling water in a large pan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cover the pan with a lid and let mixture cook for exactly 5 minutes.
- Remove lid and reduce heat to medium. Add a candy thermometer to the side of the pan. Slowly add the cream, a little bit at a time, making sure that the mixture does not stop bubbling. DO NOT stir. Cook until candy reaches 260 degrees on a candy thermometer or forms a hard ball when tested in cold water
- Remove candy from heat and immediately pour onto a very cold buttered marble slab. DO NOT scrap the insides of the pan. Drizzle the vanilla over the surface of the candy. Using a metal spatula, turn each long side of the candy inward. Flip the candy over to cool the top side.
- When cool enough to handle, cut the candy in half, (if two people are pulling it). Using your fingertips, pull the candy for at least 3-4 minutes until it’s no longer shiny and sticky and has started to look satiny and lighter in color. Pull the candy into long twisted ropes and place on the marble slab. Using scissors, immediately cut the candy into pieces about 1 1/2″ long. Make sure the candy pieces are not touching since they are still sticky at this point. The candy will now be a consistency of taffy. It’s delicious but try not to eat it.
