Yes! Here's a recipe I found on city-data.com:

SALT WATER TAFFY

1 1/2 cups brown sugar

1/2 cup corn syrup

3 tablespoons butter

1/2 cup water

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

1/2 tablespoon glycerine

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

Put brown sugar, corn syrup, butter, and water into a saucepan or iron kettle. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, until mixture reaches 256°F, or until it forms a hard ball when tested in cold water.

Add salt and glycerine. Pour onto a greased marble slab and when cool enough to handle (be careful - hot sugar burns!) pull until light in color.

Add vanilla while pulling. Pull out in round sticks the size of kisses. Lightly oil a scissors with vegetable oil or spray. Cut pieces 3/4 inch in length. Roll up in waxed paper and twist ends.

Have Fun!

What is sugar cane made out of?

Sugar cane is a type of plant that is grown and then harvested into sugar. Sugar cane is a sub-tropical crop of tall plants with very thick stems. The stems are harvested and they are crushed in order to extract the sweet juice. The juice is purified and the water content is boiled off. Eventually the process reaches a stage when sugar crystals grow. The results are a brown raw sugar that resembles the sweet brown sugar used to make baked goods.


Which sugar is better cane sugar or white sugar?

White sugar (granulated sugar) is usually used in cooking (unless the recipe says to use cane sugar) and cane sugar, I'm going to call it brown sugar, is a little bit better for you. Brown sugar is more natural which means they didn't dry and dye it. I personally like brown sugar better that white sugar because you can taste that there has been no chemicals put into it and its yummy to put on my wheat-biscuit cereal. ;-) I'll go a little more scientific on you: Brown sugar has more moisture in it because usually they add some pure molasses to it. And sticks together a little bit because the sugar crystals are smaller than white sugar. White sugar is pure sucrose. They also dye it white. And it goes through many processing machine to get it that way. So, heres the real, big, difference: One cup of brown sugar has slightly more calories than white sugar, but 1 cup of brown sugar has "187 milligrams of calcium, 56 of phosphorous, 1.8 of iron, 757 of potassium, and 97 of sodium compared to the only scant traces of those nutrients found in granulated sugar." So there you have it. Hope I helped!

Do i really need brown sugar to make peanut butter cookies?

Yes, just make sure that you use the total measurement of sugar for both white and brown. Both white and brown sugars can be used interchangeably with each other without affecting the sweetness of the cookie. However, each sugar does effect the texture. More brown sugar will make a moister, chewier cookie.

Can you use light brown sugar instead of regular brown sugar?

I really dont understand the question here, but both regular white sugar as well as light brown sugar is used in baking, it just depends on the recipe. Light brown sugar has less of the "molasses" flavour than darker brown sugar. Both of them can and are used in baking. There are a number of "grades" or "darknesses" of brown sugar and as the colour darkens the flavour becomes more intense. If your recipe needs the punch of a darker sugar then go ahead and use it. The colour has no effect other than taste in baking.
