You didn’t ever add the vinegar….?
Lisa it is suppose to say the first 5 ingredients so you add at the first.
all i buy is apple cidar vinegar, will that work? the one and only time i made taffy was at my grandma’s church when i was a pre-teen. good memories.
Is this a hard candy or a soft candy? I am want a soft taffy recipe. Thanks
Yes it is. It isn’t like soft water taffy.
Is additional food coloring to be added a second time after it is boiled with the first 5 ingredients? If so, is this to make it the color you prefer? If not, is it to be added before or after the boiling of first 4 and not first 5 ingredients? Really confused.
Kay when you remove it from the heat just add the soda, vanilla and how much food coloring you want at this time and you are good to go. You don’t even have to add the food coloring if it will be easier for you because it is just for fun and to make it any color you want. Jill
