Chef's tips
Temperature is everything: below 112C the taffy runs, above 116C it snaps hard.
Ingredient substitutions
- clean snow → a tray of crushed ice packed flat and frozen solid
Storage
Eat fresh; taffy does not keep.
Common mistakes to avoid
- •Using a shallow pan so the syrup boils over
- •Pouring onto soft, wet snow
