Salt Water Taffy

Leave a Comment

Salt water taffy is a totally American sweet.  I don’t know much about this sweet, but I have heard about it so often, in books and movies, that I have become quite curious to learn more, so when I found a profile on this sweet on the candyusa site, I thought I would share it with everyone.

Some fun facts on salt water taffy:

Salt water taffy was “invented” in
Atlantic City in 1883.  

Modern technology allows confectioners to produce 1,000 pieces of taffy a minute.  

In one hour enough pieces of taffy are made to cover one third of the length of
Atlantic City (about 1.3 miles).  

In one day enough pieces of taffy are made to cover about 2/3 of the width of
New Jersey (about 46 miles).  

The three most popular taffy flavors sold by Sweet Candy Company are peppermint, cinnamon and chocolate.  

America celebrates National Taffy Day May 23rd.

You can also visit  the candyusa site to find out some more information and how to make it.
