What is Salt Water Taffy?

Glad you asked...
Salt water taffy is a delicious, soft candy that was first made and sold in the Atlantic City, New Jersey, area. It actually doesn't have salt water in it! It generally comes in a large variety of fruit flavors, peppermint, chocolate, and vanilla. It is wrapped in waxed paper that is twisted on both sides. Yummy!

Saltwater taffy is a candy that is very chewy and made from butter and sugar. It is repeatedly pulled to aerate it so it gets fluffy. There is no salt water in it. It gets its name from being first sold on the Atlantic City Boardwalk.
