Ingredients

• 1 cup Honey
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 1 teaspoon White vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 pinch Salt

Directions

Step 1

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with butter to prevent sticking. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium-sized heavy-bottom saucepan, combine the honey, butter, white vinegar, and salt over medium heat.

Step 3

Stir the mixture gently until the butter melts and all ingredients are well combined.

Step 4

Attach a candy thermometer to the saucepan, ensuring the tip is submerged but not touching the bottom of the pan.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a boil without stirring further and continue cooking until it reaches 260°F (hard ball stage). This process should take about 10-12 minutes. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.

Step 6

Once the mixture reaches 260°F, remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 7

Carefully pour the hot taffy mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and let it cool for about 10-15 minutes, or until it is just cool enough to handle.

Step 8

Grease your hands lightly with butter to prevent sticking. Once the taffy is cool but pliable, begin pulling the mixture. Stretch and fold it repeatedly until it becomes glossy and slightly opaque.

Step 9

Roll the pulled taffy into a long rope and cut it into bite-sized pieces using greased scissors or a knife.

Step 10

Wrap each piece in wax paper to prevent sticking and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
