Ingredients
1/3 cup
creamy, processed peanut butter (none of that pure stuff here—we’re talking Skippy)
1/3 cup
water
1/2 cup
light corn syrup
1 cup
maple syrup
3/4 cup
granulated sugar
1 teaspoon
kosher salt
1 tablespoon
unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing
Instructions
- Thoroughly butter a rimmed baking sheet (I outmoded a 9- x 13-lumber pan, nevertheless a the same dimension will work horny). To find within the corners, nevertheless don’t anguish so distinguished relating to the perimeters, because the taffy won’t arrive into contact with these.
- In a deep pot over low heat, add the full system straight away. Traipse except the sugar dissolves.
- With out stirring, bring the mixture to 250° F. Use a candy thermometer to video show the temperature and don’t toddle the route of by cranking up the warmth. I’ve tried and ended up with a burnt pot (the taffy did turn out, nevertheless so did a ruined pan). As soon as the mixture involves temperature, after about quarter-hour, turn off the warmth and pour the taffy spoiled onto the greased baking sheet. Let it sit down except or no longer it’s frigid sufficient to take care of, about 30 minutes.
- Here is the build arm strength comes into play. Grease your fingers totally with butter and pull the taffy: Stretch it exact into a protracted rope about 1 lumber in diameter and fold the rope in half, onto itself equivalent to you’re closing a e book. Twist it fully together, then pull exact into a protracted rope again, and repeat. Continue this route of except the taffy is company and racy to tug, about 4 to 5 pulls. Stretch it exact into a protracted rope about 1-lumber-thick and, the usage of buttered kitchen shears, lower it into chunk-dimension, 1-lumber pieces.
- Wrap every bit of taffy in wax paper. You would possibly well perchance also both aquire a candy wrapper or lumber the D.I.Y. route and lower squares out of wax paper. Reward the tiny squares to web page online visitors, or maintain all of them to your self. The taffy will maintain in an airtight container for as much as 2 months—or except or no longer it’s too racy to chunk.
