    Salt water taffy is a type of taffy made with salt water and boiled sugar. In the early 1900s, a candy maker named David Bradley was making taffy in Atlantic City, New Jersey. He boiled his sugar syrup with salt water to create a more chewy texture for the candy.

    The name salt water taffy comes from the fact that it is made with salt water and boiled sugar.

    It’s actually a little bit more complicated than you might think. Salt water taffy was invented in the late 1800’s. It’s actually kind of hard to tell exactly where or when it was invented, but it’s definitely a product that’s synonymous with Atlantic City. The basic idea behind salt water taffy is that it’s not actually “taffy” at all. It’s more like a hybrid between taffy and hard candy. The reason it’s called taffy is that it’s so chewy that it stretches as it’s being eaten. The reason it’s called salt water taffy is that it’s traditionally made using fresh water taffy and sea water. When they’re mixed together they become salt water taffy. You can’t get the classic flavor of this candy anywhere else in the world. Salt water taffy is a great option for those that can’t decide between the two classic flavors of taffy and hard candy. If you haven’t tried salt water taffy yet, you should. It’s hard to say exactly what you’ll think of it, but it’s definitely a local specialty worth trying.

    Salt water taffy is a type of candy that originated in the late 19th century. It is made from sugar, corn syrup, butter, salt, and flavoring. The ingredients are combined and cooked until they reach the desired consistency, then they are poured into molds and allowed to cool. The finished candy is chewy and soft, and can be enjoyed by people of all ages.

    The name “salt water taffy” is believed to have originated in Atlantic City, New Jersey, where the candy was first made and sold. It is said that the name came about when a young girl asked a candy shop owner for taffy, but he didn’t have any. He offered to make some for her using salt water from the ocean, and she loved it. The name salt water taffy has been used ever since.
