My mom got Noah a Civil War projects book for Christmas, and inside it had a recipe for Molasses taffy. Oddly, we actually had some molasses in the cabinet (for some wheat bread Clay was going to make) so Clay and Noah decided to give this taffy a try today. This was something they made during that era that was a big treat. It smelled horrible while it was being cooked...kinda like prune juice, and I am not sure what else. After it was made...it was tolerable...but Noah loves that stuff!
What a way to cook....barefoot on the counter!
Then we made wrappers for it out of wax paper.
We used to make this too, but it did not have that in it. I wish I could talk to someone that had the info if you know what I mean! I remember making it and taking it to a circus once.
