I LOVE an old-fashioned taffy pull! So do the grandkids. This recipe is EXACTLY as I got it from my grandmother. I don't know how many generations this goes back, but was reminded of it at my godaughter's this weekend when we were standing under her black walnut tree. Read more See less
Ingredients
- 1 cup molasses shopping list
- 2 cups Karo syrup shopping list
- 1 cup light brown sugar shopping list
How to make it
- Cook to stiff ball just before a light crack. Take off fire & add nuts & enough baking soda to make a nice color. Keep stirring while adding nuts & baking soda. You can mix English walnuts & black walnuts together. This makes it less expensive.
- Put in greased pan & spread out & cut into pieces when cool.
- NOTE: I interpret "stiff" ball as hard ball stage. Don't you just love the "less expensive" comment?! I never use the black walnuts as I don't like them. Good with pecans and almonds or cashews, too.

I haven't made taffy in over 40 yrs! Omg, I'm old! Ack! I have to make this as I'm also a black walnut fan. This sounds just too good to me! Oh thank you, thank you for your recipe!
