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

  1. Butter 2 large, rimmed baking sheets.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Quickly pour hot mixture out onto the prepared baking sheets; let stand until cool enough to handle.

  5. 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.
