A taffy pull is a social or family gathering in which the participants make taffy. Taffy is a boiled sugar candy which is "pulled" to make the candy chewy. "Pulling" is done by hand usually (or by machine in commercial candy production), and by forming the recently cooked and slightly cooled candy into a rope like piece. This piece is then folded in half, given a spiral twist, and then pulled by grabbing the ends and stretching the piece. Its then folded again and repeated. Pulling folds air into the warm candy and makes it fluffy. By folding in air and increasing the volume of the candy it becomes chewy.

How do you make pull taffy?

To make pull taffy, begin by cooking a mixture of sugar, corn syrup, water, and a pinch of salt in a saucepan until it reaches the soft-ball stage (around 240°F or 115°C). Once cooked, pour the mixture onto a greased surface and let it cool slightly before kneading in flavor and color. As it cools, stretch and pull the taffy repeatedly until it becomes light in color and has a chewy texture. Finally, shape it into small pieces and wrap them in wax paper to prevent sticking.
