CHOCOLATE TAFFY RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Cook the chocolate and syrup till a small amount dripped from a spoon forms a thread into a cup of cold water and cracks when tested between fingers. Remove from burner and add in butter, salt and vanilla. Spread on one or possibly more buttered plates or possibly platter.When cool sufficient to handle, pull vigorously for several min till it is a lighter brown and becomes too stiff to continue to pull. Form into a rope-like shape on a large bread board or possibly similar surface and using kitchen shears, snip into convenient size pcs (approximately 1 inch).

Steps:

• Melt chocolate and butter in top of double boiler.
• Mix rest of ingredients, except extract, in large heavy bottomed pot and cook over high heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved.
• Lower heat and continue cooking without stirring to 262º (hard-ball stage).
• Remove from heat, add chocolate and butter, stirring only enough to blend.
• Pour into a shallow greased pan. Put flavoring in center of the mass and work carefully into the mixture. When cool enough to handle, remove from pan, divide into pieces, and pull until somewhat lighter in color.
• When cold, cut into bite-sized pieces.
• Wrap in waxed paper or candy wrappers.
