I have made this recipe. It started off pretty well, but when you get to the cooling part, watch out. It starts harding and it is as hard as a rock before it has cooled off. Are you supposed to strech taffy as it is burning your hands? I threw it in a pan and waited for it to cool down. It tastes very good, I give Monica that, but it looks like a hard puddle. It also took a long time to clean off. I had to soak it for a few hours and then scrub for a long time.
