Really good! I divided the recipe by 3 to make a small batch. It was easy to pull and I didn't need to use any margarine to oil my hands. The texture is amazing!

The taffy turned out perfect and it really did take only about an hour to make. I have tried this using both root beer and licorice flavoring.
