      Title: Old-Fashioned Peppermint Taffy
 Categories: Snacks, Candy
      Yield: 28 Ounces
 
      1 tb + 1/4 c  butter; cubed
      2 c  Light corn syrup
  1 1/2 c  Sugar
      2 ts Peppermint extract
    1/2 ts Salt
      6    Drops red food coloring
 
  Grease a 15" x 10" x 1" pan with 1 tablespoon butter;
  set aside.
  
  In a heavy small saucepan, combine corn syrup and sugar.
  Bring to a boil over medium heat. Add remaining butter;
  stir until melted. Cook and stir until a candy
  thermometer reads 250ºF/121ºC (hard-ball stage).
  
  Remove from the heat; stir in the extract, salt and food
  coloring. Pour into prepared pan. Let stand for 5-10
  minutes or until cool enough to handle. Divide into four
  portions.
  
  With well-buttered fingers, quickly pull one portion of
  candy until firm but pliable (color will become light
  pink). Pull into a 1/2" wide rope. Repeat with remaining
  candy. Cut into 1" pieces. Wrap each in waxed paper.
  
  Makes: 1-3/4 pounds
