    Title: Old-Fashioned Peppermint Taffy
    Categories: Snacks, Candy
    Yield: 28 ounces

    1 tb + 1/4 c butter; cubed
    2 c Light corn syrup
    1 1/2 c Sugar
    2 ts Peppermint extract
    1/2 ts Salt
    6 Drops red food coloring

    Grease a 15" x 10" x 1" pan with 1 tablespoon butter;
    set aside.

    In a heavy small saucepan, combine corn syrup and sugar.
    Bring to a boil over medium heat. Add remaining butter;
    stir until melted. Cook and stir until a candy
    thermometer reads 250ºF/121ºC (hard-ball stage).

    Remove from the heat; stir in the extract, salt and food
    coloring. Pour into prepared pan. Let stand for 5-10
    minutes or until cool enough to handle. Divide into four
    portions.

    With well-buttered fingers, quickly pull one portion of
    candy until firm but pliable (color will become light
    pink). Pull into a 1/2" wide rope. Repeat with remaining
    candy. Cut into 1" pieces. Wrap each in waxed paper.

    Makes: 1-3/4 pounds
