Molasses Taffy - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 Tbsp. margarine
1 c. molasses
1/3 c. sugar

Preparation

Melt margarine in a saucepan.
Tip the pan to grease the sides.
Add sugar and molasses.
Stir until well dissolved. Bring this mixture to a boil, stirring slowly and constantly. (Candy is done when a drop dropped into cold water becomes brittle.)
Pour taffy into well-greased platter.
When cool enough to handle, grease hands and pull candy from hand to hand until firm and of a gold color.
Draw into a smooth band or twist into rope.
Cut into short lengths with kitchen shears.
Spread on wax paper to finish cooling.
