Chewy, pulled taffy in assorted flavors is a fun, old-fashioned American candy and boardwalk tradition. This stretchy, colorful confection is a nostalgic family treat that's fun to make together.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and butter the surface generously to prevent sticking.
In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, water, butter, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture starts to boil.
Attach a candy thermometer without touching the bottom. Continue heating, swirling the pan occasionally (do not stir), until the temperature reaches 250°F (hard ball stage). Carefully monitor heat to prevent scorching.
Remove from heat immediately. Stir in vanilla, food coloring, and flavor extracts. Pour the hot mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and let cool just enough to handle—about 10–15 minutes.
Butter your hands thoroughly. Pull the warm taffy by stretching and folding until it becomes glossy and pale in color, about 10–15 minutes. Roll into ropes, cut into bite-size pieces, and wrap individually in wax paper.
