The Origins of Salt Water Taffy
Salt water taffy is a delicious confection made in a unique process that results in the chewy, sweet candy we all know and love. Most recipes contain sugar, water, corn syrup, oil, salt, flavorings, and coloring. Once all these ingredients are combined, they are pulled and stretched many times to create the trademark light and chewy texture. Stretching or pulling taffy can be done by hand, but in the modern era, it is often done by a machine specifically designed to recreate the hand-pulling process.
Why Summertime is Salt Water Taffy Season
Why do people associate salt water taffy with summer vacation? This may have to do with the origins of salt water taffy. It originated in the late 1800s on the New Jersey shore. From there, the treat gained popularity across other beaches and boardwalk shops throughout the United States. Salt water taffy can now be enjoyed anywhere, and isn’t exclusively available at boardwalk confectionery shops. However, this delicious candy will always be associated with the East Coast beach towns, including Ocean City, that fueled the candy’s original rise in popularity.
