Comment préparer Tricolor Taffy

Combine 2 cups granulated sugar, 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup light corn syrup, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a 4-quart saucepan.
Swirl the saucepan over medium heat to dissolve the sugar completely. Do not stir.
Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Use a candy thermometer to monitor temperature, aiming for the soft-ball stage (235-240°F).
If necessary, wash down the inside walls of the saucepan with a wet pastry brush to prevent sugar crystals from forming.
Remove from heat and immediately stir in 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Lightly coat three baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray.
Pour the taffy mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, dividing it into three equal portions.
**Portion 1 (Peppermint):** Mix 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract and a few drops of green food coloring into one portion.
**Portion 2 (Orange):** Mix 1/2 teaspoon orange extract and a few drops of yellow food coloring into another portion.
**Portion 3 (Vanilla):** Leave the remaining portion as plain vanilla.
As the taffy cools, use a metal spatula or bench scraper to gently lift the edges towards the center to prevent hardening.
When cool enough to handle (but still pliable), butter your hands. Pull each portion of taffy into long ropes, twisting and pulling until stiff and the color is even.
Use clean, buttered kitchen scissors to cut the ropes into 1-inch pieces.
Wrap each piece individually in waxed paper and store in an airtight container.
