Old-Victorian Molasses Taffy image

I found this recipe in one of my cookbooks years ago when the kids were little and would do it the same time that we would do the bread dough ornaments...again the whole neighborhood was at my house...I would have Taffy pulling contests, I would make the Taffy and they would pull it...So we called it our Taffy Pulling...
