Steps:
- 1. Butter a jelly roll pan thoroughly.
- 2. In a large pan add brown sugar, molasses, butter, vinegar and 1/2 cup of water. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar is melted.
- 3. Continue boiling, without stirring, until a drop in cold water separates into threads (260 F on a candy thermometer).
- 4. Stir in the baking soda.
- 5. Pour the mixture into the buttered pan. With a metal spatula, fold over from edges until cool enough to handle.
- 6. Butter your hands and quickly pull and fold the taffy back on itself.
- 7. Do this until the color starts to lighten, then twist, continuing to pull as long as possible.
- 8. Twist into lengths and cut into pieces. (If the taffy becomes too hard to pull, warm in the oven for a few minutes).
- 9. Wrap the individual candy pieces in wax paper.
