      Title: Old-Fashioned Peppermint Taffy
 Categories: Snacks, Candy
      Yield: 28 Ounces
 
    1/4 c  Butter; cubed, +1 tb, divided
      2 c  Light corn syrup
  1 1/2 c  Sugar
      2 ts Peppermint extract
    1/2 ts Salt
      6 dr Red food coloring
 
  Grease a 15x10x1" pan with 1 tb 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 250°F/121°C
  (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.
