Taffy, anybody?

 It's been a long, long time since we have pulled taffy, like ten years. Mom was very nervous about cooking it cause it has to be just right. But it turned out pretty good. And it is soooooo yummy! Andrew and Melinda were also here to help.
The batter is cooked for a long time, then put in pans to harden. Then it's taken out and pulled by hand. The pulling is really hard to explain (and hard to do!). You just have to see it. (Sorry some of the pics are a little blury... our camara doesn't take good pics when the people are moving!)




Messy!!!




Once the taffy turns white and is no longer very sticky, we cut it into strips.


The strips are then cut into little pieces.

Yum, Yum!

The end result... delicious (and fattening) candy!
