- "I've tried other taffy recipes but this one is by far the best. It's so smooth and creamy."
- "I highly recommend this recipe for anyone who loves maple syrup and candy."
Special Precautions and Tips:
- Be careful not to overcook the taffy, as it will become hard and brittle.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the doneness of the taffy by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If it forms a soft ball, it's done.
- To prevent the taffy from sticking to the baking sheet, make sure to use parchment paper or a well-greased surface.
- Taffy can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
