How to Make Molasses Candy Ole Fashioned Pull Taffy
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup light corn syrup, 1/4 cup molasses, 1/4 cup water, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches the hard-ball stage (260°F on a candy thermometer). This will take about 15-20 minutes. Be careful not to burn the candy!
- Lightly butter a shallow baking pan (approximately 9x13 inches). Pour the hot candy mixture into the prepared pan and let it cool slightly until it's cool enough to handle (about 20-30 minutes).
- Lightly butter your hands. Pull the candy until it becomes light golden in color and develops a satiny sheen. This takes time and effort—the more you pull, the more it will lighten and become smooth.
- Once the desired color and texture are achieved, pull the taffy into long, 3/4-inch diameter ropes. Using kitchen shears, cut the ropes into 1-inch pieces.
- Let the taffy cool completely. Wrap each piece individually in waxed paper and twist the ends to seal.
