Como fazer Salt Water Taffy

In a heavy saucepan, whisk together 2 cups granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon cornstarch until well combined.
Stir in 1 cup light corn syrup, ½ cup water, ½ teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons unsalted margarine.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until the sugar completely dissolves.
Cover the pan and bring the mixture to a rolling boil for 2 to 3 minutes.
Uncover the pan, insert a candy thermometer, and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches 266°F (130°C) – the hard-crack stage.
Carefully remove the pan from the heat. Add 2-4 drops of food coloring (gel food coloring works best) and 1 teaspoon of your favorite flavoring oil (e.g., peppermint, wintergreen, or butterscotch).
Stir gently to combine the food coloring and flavoring oil. Immediately pour the mixture onto a large, lightly greased marble slab or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Allow the taffy to cool until it is just cool enough to handle (about 10-15 minutes). Lightly grease your hands with cooking spray or shortening. Begin pulling the taffy, folding it in half and stretching it repeatedly until it becomes light in color and has a satiny gloss. This process takes time and patience, and it's okay if it is somewhat sticky at first.
Once the taffy is light and glossy, pull it into a long rope. Use kitchen shears to cut the rope into approximately 1-inch pieces.
Wrap each piece of taffy individually in waxed paper squares, twisting the ends for a professional look. Makes approximately 50 pieces.
