What is a good home recipe for Bonomo Turkish Taffy?
Bonomo's Turkish Taffy
Smack it, crack it. Oh yeah!
it's TAFFY-RIFFIC!
The original recipe for Bonomo's Turkish Taffy is a well guarded secret.
According to Tico Bonomo, son of Victor, Turkish Taffy "was not really a taffy, but what is technically known as a short nougat," consisting of a batter of corn syrup and egg whites that was cooked and then baked.
Turkish Taffy is so chewy that a single bar can last up to 3 hours.
This recipe gives a Turkish taffy similar to Bonomo's Turkish Taffy from the 60's as it uses jam for the flavor and also uses egg white as was used in Bonomo's Turkish Taffy.
Placing in refrigerator of freezer makes it easier to crack.

Turkish Taffy
1 large egg white
2 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 cup jam (jelly) (cherry, peach, orange, strawberry, apricot)
5 drops orange food coloring to match jam colour (optional)
Butter or margarine for greasing the pan
- Grease an 11 x 17-inch jelly-roll pan or cookie sheet with high edges. Line the pan with wax paper and butter the paper. Set the pan aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg white with an electric mixer on high until soft peaks form. Set the beaten white aside, while you prepare the sugar syrup.
- Combine the sugar, water, and cream of tartar in a large heavy pan. Place the pan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture comes to a boil.
- Cook without stirring until the syrup reaches 260°F (hard ball). While the syrup is boiling, wash down any sugar crystals down from the sides of the pans with a wet pastry brush.
- Add the jam and food coloring, if using. Stir until the jam completely melts into the syrup. Bring the syrup back to a boil point until it reaches 260°F again. Don't worry about sugar crystals during this second boiling. Turn off the heat.
- Refresh the egg white with a quick beating-10 seconds on high is usually enough. Continue beating on high while pouring the hot syrup into the beaten egg white in a slow, steady stream. Allow the mixer to run until the bowl feels warm but not hot, 10 to 15 minutes. The mixture will be very stiff.
- Using a long, narrow spatula dipped in water, spread the taffy onto the prepared pan, all the way to the edges. Place the pan in the freezer to let the taffy set up, about 1 hour. When the candy is cold and firm, use your hands to crack it into irregular pieces about the size of candy bars. Alternatively, allow the taffy to soften, then cut it into 4-inch squares using buttered scissors.
- Wrap each piece of taffy in wax paper and store them all in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 month, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. This candy tastes best if you wait to eat it at least 24 hours after it is made.

Is it a pack of tic tacs or a box of tic tacs?
Divergent answer: I have to disagree that boxes are primarily cardboard. Many boxes are constructed of wood, metal, glass, and yes, plastic. My mother for years had an alabaster (that's a type of salt) box she kept on the mantel.
A box is, afterall, a container constructed with four sides perpendicular to the base and often being fitted with a top or lid. The material from which it is constructed is of no particular import other than to what is stored within it or to what purpose it is put. It would be silly to construct a box from, say, alabaster if the intended purpose was to use it to bail water from a boat. Although, one typically uses a bucket for such purposes as bailing, but I digress.
Since a Tic Tac container has four sides that can be described as perpendicular to the base, and it has been fitted with a top or lid, it is by definition a box.
However, the bundle in which a collection of Tic Tac boxes is delivered may be referred to correctly as a pack.

Why did forest Mars decide to produce the candy m and m and in what year?
Forrest Mars had seen soldiers in the Spanish Civil War in the 1930s eating chocolate pieces with hardened, tempered coatings. The soldiers liked them because they didn't melt in their hands or pockets like plain chocolates. He developed his version of the candy when he returned from Europe and patented his process in 1941. He used the m & m initials for his own name and William F. R. Murrie, President of Hershey's Chocolate, who owned 20% of the product which were made with Hershey's chocolate. They became very popular with the soldiers of WWII and that popularity has grown ever since.

Cellophone candy bags can be found at your nearest grocery store. The zip lock bags are plentiful and most likely rivals the cellophane bags found in store accessory shops located in industrial parks.

Is the myth of candy man real?
I really hate to brake the truth to you, but no its not real. It was just a joke madeup to scare people or play pranks on them. It is usually done at night somewhere at 10:00-12:00 and all the lights in the house are turned off and you stand in front of a mirror and say his name several times. It is said that he will appear and scare you (it really depends on how brave you are and how scared you are). You think you can see him but really its the reflections on the mirror or/and if you've ever heard of concentration where when you concentrate on something lets say candy man and you really concentrate and think mainly of that, and so your mind and eyes play tricks on you and you think you can see him on the mirror. Its really confusing but that's what happens to most people when they try these kind of things.
