How to Make Salt Water Pull Taffy

1. Combine sugar, corn syrup, water, salt, and cream of tartar in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan.
2. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves completely.
3. Continue cooking, without stirring, until the mixture reaches 245°F (118°C) on a candy thermometer (firm-ball stage).
4. Remove from heat and immediately stir in vanilla extract and food coloring (if using).
5. Pour the mixture onto a buttered baking sheet or silicone mat.
6. Let it cool slightly until it's cool enough to handle, but still pliable (about 10-15 minutes).
7. Lightly butter your hands and begin to pull the taffy. Fold the taffy in half, then pull it apart, repeatedly folding and pulling until it becomes light and opaque.
8. Once the taffy is light and opaque and has a smooth, firm consistency, continue to stretch it until it becomes almost white.
9. Quickly shape the taffy into individual pieces by cutting and twisting it into ropes then cut into bite-sized pieces.
10. Wrap the taffy in wax paper or parchment paper to prevent sticking.
11. Let the taffy cool completely before serving. Enjoy!
