 Categories: Candies
      Yield: 24 Servings
 
      2 c  Sugar
      1 c  Corn syrup
  1 1/2 ts Salt
  1 1/2 c  Water
      2 tb Butter
      7 dr Green food coloring
    1/4 ts Oil of peppermint
 
  Combine sugar, corn syrup, salt, and water in 2 qt saucepan. Cook
  slowly, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves. Cook to hard
  ball stage (260°F) without stirring. Remove from heat, stir in
  remaining ingredients. Pour into buttered 15x10x1" pan. Cool until
  comfortable to handle. Butter hands and gather taffy into ball and
  pull. When candy is light in color and gets hard to pull, cut into
  1/4ths. Pull each piece into a long strand about 1/2" thick. With
  buttered scissors, quickly snip into bite sized pieces. Wrap each
  piece in waxed paper.
