  1. I did the recipe for the second time and only cooked until about 256 degrees and it came out perfect. So the 270 degree is for hard stage candy not for taffy. I used doTerra Essential oils for my flavoring. SSnay

  1. Idon't have the secret recipe but, apparently, the original recipe was a mistake of a marshmallow production and included egg whites.
