Molasses Taffy (Better Homes and Gardens 1947)

This is one of the recipes that I found whilst I was estate sale shopping. You can find drawers and piles of old clippings of newspaper and magazine recipes!

Ingredients
1/2 C Brown Sugar
1 1/4 C light molasses
3/4 C light corn syrup
1/4 t soda
1/12 T butter
1 C chopped walnuts

Directions
Combine sugar, molasses, and syrup. Stir to dissolve sugar. Cook to light-crack stage (265*). Add soda and butter; mix well. Add nuts. Pour into greased shallow pan. When cool enough to handle, pull until very light. Form into ropes; cut with scissors. Makes 2 dozen pieces.
