DESCRIPTION

Enjoy this rich and delicious molasses taffy made on an old-fashioned “pull” machine, operated by a family who’s been in the business for three generations…using the original recipe. The flavor is rich without being cloying, the texture, rich, and so smooth it practically melts in your mouth. No cheap ingredients or mass-marketed candies. And, yes, these are made right by the sea, in a small coastal town where fisherman and visitors alike take the molasses taffy with them. Comes in a stand-up, reusable capsule with a lid. Enjoy!

Historical Insights

From Susan’s Award-Winning Book “Sweet as Sin”

 Taffy has been around for centuries in various iterations. The taffy we love today was first pulled by enslaved workers, using molasses, the remains of sugar cane production. As molasses was bitter, they likely added sweeteners and even spices to improve the flavor. By the late 1800s, taffy was made at home or enjoyed at “pull parties” of the well-to-do. There guests – often children – dressed in their best whites and pulled the taffy, sometimes across the room! Other versions of taffy sprung up over the years – inexpensive and enjoyed by grown-ups and kids like. You know the names! Now and Laters. Taffy Chews.  And the most popular of all: salt water taffy, sold by the seaside – and many other places – since the 1800s.
