This taffy is made with simple ingredients. It's soft and can be made in a wide variety of flavors. I think the secret to the softness is the cornstarch. I hope it works out for you.

Ingredients

2 ½ cups white sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 ⅓ cups water
1 cup corn syrup
2 tablespoons butter
½ teaspoon salt
1 (0.13 ounce) package unsweetened, fruit-flavored soft drink mix

Directions

Butter 2 large, rimmed baking sheets.
Stir sugar and cornstarch together in a medium saucepan. Stir in water, corn syrup, butter, and salt until blended; bring to a boil over medium heat.
Cook until mixture reads 250 degrees F (120 degrees C) on a candy thermometer. Remove from the heat and immediately stir in drink mix powder.
Quickly pour hot mixture out onto the prepared baking sheets; let stand until cool enough to handle.
Grab a few helpers and butter everyone's hands. Stretch and pull taffy until it lightens in color and becomes firm. Roll into bite-sized pieces and wrap in small squares of waxed paper.
