Zubereitung von Any Flavor Kool Aid Taffy
- Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C) and place buttered cookie sheets inside to keep warm.
- Grease two large baking sheets generously with butter and set aside.
- In a heavy-bottomed 2-quart saucepan, combine the sugar and cornstarch. Whisk to combine.
- Add the corn syrup, water, butter, and salt to the saucepan. Stir well to ensure everything is incorporated.
- Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches 250°F (121°C) on a candy thermometer. This will take about 8-10 minutes. Be careful not to burn the mixture.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat. Immediately stir in the Kool-Aid powder until completely dissolved and the color is even.
- Quickly pour the taffy mixture onto the warm, buttered baking sheets. Spread it evenly to about 1/4-inch thickness.
- Let the taffy cool slightly, about 5-10 minutes, until it's cool enough to handle without burning your fingers.
- Lightly butter your hands. With a helper, gently begin to pull and fold the taffy until it lightens in color and becomes more firm and opaque (about 5-7 minutes). This is the most fun part!
- Once the taffy is firm enough to handle easily, lightly flour a work surface and roll the taffy into a log. Cut the log into bite-sized pieces.
- Wrap individual taffy pieces in wax paper squares.
- Allow the taffy to cool completely before storing in an airtight container at room temperature.
