I looove salt water taffy (peppermint in my favorite) and I've always wanted to try my hand at making it myself. But after one look (years ago) through the window of a seaside candy shop at its frantically twirling taffy-puller, I tucked the thought away into my wishful thinking file...until now!
After spotting the gorgeous mound of minty goodness (above) via Kalie on pinterest, I just had to follow the link to see what I would find. And there on the lovely Vanilla & Lace blog visions of handmade salt water taffy began, once again, to dance in my head. Yes, it still looks like a lot of work, but man-oh-man do the results ever look worth it!
I'm thinking this would be a fun project to work on with a group of older kids (my daughter and sister's age). They can do all the pulling, have fun choosing which color to dye it (I'm guessing they'd pick something from our pack of neon food coloring), and then we can all enjoy the tasty taffy at the end. Yummers! xo Ez
