Why is saltwater taffy candy imported in Austria?
Is there a specific reason why it is called "saltwater" taffy?
Yes, the candy is called "saltwater" taffy due to its traditional method of preparation, which involves cooking sugar, corn syrup, water, butter, and salt together until it reaches a specific temperature. Once the candy mixture is heated, it is pulled and stretched to aerate it, creating a softer texture.
