How long must you boil to reach hard ball stage with taffy?

You will need to test the taffy by dropping a little bit in cold water. When the taffy in the water forms a "hard ball," it is ready. It is interesting to test the taffy along the way. At first it will just dissolve in the water. As it cooks more you will be able to form a ball with it. At first the ball of taffy will be soft (soft ball stage), getting more firm the longer you cook it. Eventually it will form a hard ball. If you cook it too long, it will turn hard as soon as it touches the cold water and you will be able to break it. Good luck with your taffy. I hope this helps.


Why is salt water taffy called salt water taffy?

2 theories: 1: The taffy became popular and was sold at the boardwalk in Atlantic City, New Jersey. So it became known as salt water taffy because of its proximity to the ocean. 2: A candy maker named David Bradley built his candy shop too close to the edge of the boardwalk (in Altlantic City, New Jersey as well) and a storm came and the ocean rose and flooded the store. Later a girl came by to buy some taffy, the frustrated candy maker Bradley Sarcastically called it salt water taffy. Later his mother or sister came by an encouraged him to keep the name.
