Honey Taffy
This is a post sponsored by Blueprint Social and Disney. All opinions are my own
When I was young I remember popping in video of The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. My sisters and I would watch it over and over. The Hundred Acre Woods was a magical place and we loved to watch and see all the wonderful adventures that Pooh and his friends had.
Now if you know that silly old bear, you know he LOVES honey. What better way to watch the movie then with some honey treats. I decide to make some Honey Cream Taffy. Enjoy!
Grease a 15x10x1-in. pan with butter; place in the refrigerator.
In a large deep heavy saucepan, combine 1 cup cream and 2 cups honey. Add 1 cup sugar; cook over medium heat and stir with a wooden spoon until sugar is melted and mixture comes to a boil.
Cover pan with a tight-fitting lid and boil for 1 minute.
Uncover; cook, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reads 290° (soft-crack stage).
Remove from the heat and pour into prepared pan (do not scrape sides of saucepan). Cool for 5 minutes.
Using a wooden spoon, bring edges of honey mixture into center of pan. Cool 5-10 minutes longer or until cool enough to handle.
Using buttered hands, pull and stretch taffy until ridges form.
Taffy will lose its gloss and become light tan in color. Pull into ropes about 1/2 in. thick. This is a great time to get the kids to help. They will love to pull the taffy.
With buttered kitchen scissors, cut into 1-in. pieces.
Wrap individually in plastic wrap or waxed paper.

YUM! This sounds amazing.
This looks fantastic! We had make taffy on our bucket list for the last two summers but every time I tried to find one we wanted to make it didn’t look appetizing or seemed hard. Thanks!
Your honey taffy looks amazing! I love making candy… this is definitely going on my to do list!
These pictures have my mouth watering! Thanks for such a great recipe idea!
I have never tried to make taffy but this sounds wonderful!!
I love it! It’s hard to find a good taffy recipe, and this one looks delicious–love the addition of honey!
I just found your site off of Pinterest! This recipe looks so amazing! Do you know how long it lasts? I’m thinking of sending some with my husband when he deploys next (he is in the Air Force) but I’d hate for him to open them up and them not be good anymore.
my experience is that they go bad after a couple weeks, i’m not sure if i’m doing it wrong or what but that’s that
has no one ever made it and then commented?
