Our superbowl party entertainment was an
Old Fashioned Taffy Pull.
Grandma invited to family over and while the superbowl
was playing in the background
we worked hard for our dessert!
Dan's Grandma Ida was a huge fan of homemade taffy and had
the recipe for the candy down to a science. I remember pulling taffy at their house
with the church youth group that Dan and I hung with when were were teens
and then later with the family one holiday.
We had also pulled taffy at Pastor Ed and Judy's house with the Berea youth group
we sponosed when the boys were little. It's a fun interactive evening!
Our boys didn't remember taffy pulling so it was a new activity for them.
It's like the taffy you see being pulled in a candy shop, but the people are the "pullers".
It starts small, caramel in color and pulls very hard.
But, the longer you pull the color lightens and it pulls easier and stretches long!
The kids all reappeared when the first batch was pulled and ready to be cut!
Yum! Homemade taffy!
